GLOBAL PLATFORM
What We Provide
Credit-bearing online courses
For individual online courses, students can choose between live ("synchronous") or recorded ("asynchronous") courses as the mode of instruction. Along with the usual spring, summer, fall, and winter terms, there are also self-paced courses available, allowing students to choose the appropriate classes based on their own schedules.
Here are the formats:
Synchronous/Live
Asynchronous/Recorded
Self-paced
- - Students join live video conference classrooms during scheduled class hours.
- - Professors teach face-to-face classes while also live-streaming to online students who attend virtually via the internet.
Who is this format best for?
Students seeking to interact with their instructors and classmates, and students who want an online course that is most similar to a traditional in-person classroom experience.
- - Professors pre-record lectures, and students watch the recordings before specific deadlines.
- - Professors record lectures during synchronous/live classes, and students who are unable to attend the class live can instead view the recorded lecture later.
Who is this format best for?
Students whose schedules make it difficult to attend live classes at set times, and students who prefer to watch lectures repeatedly in order to understand more thoroughly.
- Self-paced courses give students a great deal of flexibility, allowing them to register and start classes at any time. Students can have more freedom in terms of finishing their studies, as they may work at their own pace without worrying about regular deadlines.
Who is this format best for?
Students whose schedules require them to keep maximum flexibility when taking classes, and students who want complete control over their learning schedule.
