Before the Course
Once you register, you will be sent a confirmation e-mail. Approximately 10 days before the course start date, you will receive an e-mail and a letter giving you the Website address for the course, a username, and a password. Once you log in, you will receive a brief introduction to the course. At that time you will also go to the message board to introduce yourself to the other students in the course. This will allow you to immediately start a relationship with the rest of the class. If there is a required text book for the course, you should purchase it prior to the start date. Also, you will need to have Flash Player installed on your computer.
During the Course
Twice a week the instructor will post a lecture and specifically developed exercises designed to teach you a new skill. Your "homework" will be to return to the message board to comment on the previous lecture and your experiences with the exercise. You will receive beneficial feedback from the instructor and the other course members. The message board will be a great way to share your experiences. All lessons will remain available for a minimum of two weeks in order to accommodate students who may have conflicts with travel or other disruptions. Lessons may be accessed from any computer.
All lessons will be designed to build upon previous instruction. Therefore, it is highly recommended that they be completed in the order presented.
You should expect to spend about 3 - 4 hours per week on a course. This includes reading approximately 20 - 30 pages from the text.
After the Course
During the final week of the course, you will be asked to complete an online evaluation of the course. To receive a course completion certificate, you must comment on the lessons and exercises, submit the evaluation, and take a brief open-book exam. All course requirements will need to be completed within two weeks of the posting of the last lesson.
Our courses are designed to be easy, flexible and fun. It is a great way to maintain your professional competence while joining a community of equally motivated practitioners. Our intent is to increase your skills by providing you with information and techniques that you can immediately apply to your practice.
