Success in both the online and in-person portions of the program requires students to have the ability to navigate the institution’s learning management system (Canvas), manage electronic communications (email), utilize research and information databases, and install software. Online courses will consist of a combination of scheduled synchronous and asynchronous learning activities; synchronous sessions will require use of the Zoom platform. In-person courses will maximize the use of technology with no seat-time reduction, using the Canvas learning management system for administration, communication, assessment and content delivery to both supplement and enhance the face-to-face experience. Prior to starting coursework, all students will be required to complete an online orientation course through Canvas that will prepare them to meet the technology competency requirements of the online portions of the program. Additionally, students will have ongoing access to the IT service desk to assist with managing questions or concerns related to required technologies while in the program.
