Online Learning FAQs

• What are the advantages of the self-paced online class? 

  Convenience and Flexibility: Convenience and flexibility are the most obvious advantages. Students can log into the course throughout the week, on any computer, to view the videos and study when it’s convenient. The weekly assignments must be done on a computer that has V-Stitcher loaded.  The self-paced online courses are all pre-recorded.

   

  Freedom to travel while you study: Courses can be accessed from anywhere you have an internet connection; business trips and vacations no longer mean missed classes.

   

  Great courses, just like on campus: The online certificate coursework is developed and taught in the same manner as classes that students on campus take and is led by the same faculty.

• How do the self-paced online courses work?

  Structure: Each course has 6 or more modules to complete. You will have access to videos and corresponding PowerPoints as well as any other assets necessary to complete each module. Once a module has been completed and the assignments and quiz have been submitted, the next module will be made available. Students have flexibility in terms of the schedule in which they complete their studies.

   

  Schedule: Each course gives the students up to six months to complete. However, students can complete each course at a quicker pace if preferred. Note: If there are four consecutive weeks of inactivity and the instructor has not been notified, your Browzwear license will be terminated and an additional $150 fee will need paid for reactivation.

   

  Time commitment: The time that you spend working on your online course will vary based on the assignments and each student’s own pace. 

   

  Relationship building:  Students can communicate with the instructor through private correspondence within the course site or via email. Students can utilize the chat and discussion features within Canvas to communicate issues, ask for advice or get peer critique.

   

  What about exams?  No exams, only quizzes and assignment submissions. Finish requirements in each section to immediately move on to the next.

• What do I need to be successful?

  Time, dedication, and above all, practice will make you a more successful student.

   

  We use Browzwear in our Digital Product Creation courses. If you do not have V-Stitcher software, you can pay a fee of $150 to have access to it. Your access will be active for up to one year while you are enrolled in one of our courses. As long as you remain in constant enrollment throughout the program, you will not need to pay the fee more than once. 

   

  Hardware and software specifications can be found here. 

• When can I start?

  Anytime! Because the course is self-paced, you can start whenever you feel ready and have the time. Be sure to enroll in the next course in the sequence within four weeks of completing the previous course so that you will not have to pay the $150 software fee a second time. All four courses must be completed to remain on a single Browzwear subscription. Course registration is now open.
