Class sessions will be held one time a week with each student using their own PC being connected to the instructor and all other students through Elluminate Live. The program has been designed so that students take only one course at a time. Due to this “blocked” course focus, each course will be completed in 5 to 8 weeks, depending on the credit hours of each course. The once a week class sessions will be from 6:00 until 9:00 PM on the same day each week. Class sessions will include lectures, demonstrations, group activities and discussions. All other activities and projects will be completed online throughout the remainder of the week.  Once one course is completed students will then begin the next course the following week.
