Description of Learning Environment for Students
HOW IT WORKS
Angel Technology
At Grand Canyon University Online, we strive to make your online experience
as seamless as possible. All of our courses use Angel technology, which
means you will have a consistent format in each of the classes you take. At
the start of each course, you will enter an Angel tutorial to familiarize
you with the online structure. In your account, you will have access to
everything including your course syllabus, staff information, as well as
discussion boards and a digital drop box, where you will "turn in" all of
your assignments.
For each course you are enrolled in, you can plan to invest 10-12 hours per
week. Interaction is asynchronous, so you sign on, respond to message
boards, and see professor notes, all on your time and at your own
convenience.
In the Classroom
You will spend your time performing various tasks such as writing, reading,
responding to others in online discussion groups, working on projects, or
researching. Students take two courses each sixteen-week semester -- divided
into eight week segments. Courses are focused. Each class is structured so
that you only take one at a time. We believe that concentration on one class
at a time affords you time to take maximum advantage of each lesson. New
classes start every two months.
Exams will be taken electronically through the Angel system. However, most
courses use alternative methods of assessment, such as portfolios, research
papers and projects.
All of Grand Canyon University's online courses are uniquely tailored to
meet your needs. Our professors work hard to create an optimal online
learning environment. That means you get feedback and have the opportunity
to ask questions of your professor as well as to other students who are in
your course of study.
Course Requirements
Although classes do not meet at a specific time and place, students are
expected to "attend" to their course by log-in four times per week (on
average), and meet assignment deadlines and requirements for interaction
with instructor and course peers. Students progress through the course as a
class and participate in an online community. The program is not independent
study.
Our programs may be the most student-friendly courses offered by any
university. Not only will you learn...you'll enjoy doing it!
Faculty
Classes are taught by proven educational professionals that have excelled in research and teaching. Students find that they are able to immediately use newly learned skills to improve student performance and develop projects that are important to their learning community.
