Standard Design Courses (predominantly asynchronous with some synchronous elements) are created by the original instructor/designer who did the course videos.听 The Global staff and the 鈥淚nstructor of Record鈥� keep the course up to date on each scheduled semester. 听 2. 鈥淥nline LIVE鈥� Design Courses (featuring weekly web conference calls) are prepared to have weekly synchronous meetings with the class.听听 They may contain a variety of other elements including course videos.听 "Online LIVE" classes are open to every Western student and scheduled with distance students in mind. 3. The Threshold Design Courses (residential intensives sponsored by Global) are during one week of each semester.听听 They are created especially for students at a distance or with time restraints to have an opportunity to take a class at a residential campus (in person). 4. Cohort Design Courses (with face-to-face instruction) The "Cohort" design has students working through their program in a group. 5.听 FLEX Design Courses (residential courses with web conference connection) The FLEX section is for those needing the web conference connection to a residential class.听听 This design only applies to 0-3 courses a year at the instructor's discretion. 6. Conference Wrap-Around Design Courses (These are courses connected to a conference that must be attended along with other course work)听 This design only applies to 0-2 courses a year. 听听听 * If you have further questions about any of these, please contact your academic advisor. |
