These courses are offered in a unique collaborative online learning environment. You will interact with an expert instructor and students from around the world. The Semi-Synchronous™ learning methodology focuses on learning through interaction with people. Answers and insights are found within the context of online discussion, not on a pre-programmed screen. Each course contains discussion questions and group assignments. The Semi-Synchronous™ environment provides learners with the timely feedback that is required for learning.  One lesson a day is assigned while the course is in session.  Lessons are 40 to 90 minutes in length.  Students may take the lesson at anytime of the day that is convenient.
