About Us
Distance Learning (DL) courses facilitate online learning and are especially suited to reach busy people who wish to increase their knowledge and skills without giving up their jobs, losing income or interfering with family responsibilities. Courses maintain the same high quality educational standards as those of the traditional classroom with the additional flexibility and convenience of learning built around the students schedule. The various forms of communication and instructional technologies utilized permit and encourage students to participate in discussions with faculty and classmates.
Types of DL Courses
CNM uses the following Distance Learning Methods:
| Online Course: All of the course content is delivered online. Course orientation, assignments, presentations, learning activities, interactive quizzes and tests are online. Instructors use e-mail, homepages and course management tools. Online courses require students to have access to a computer. Additionally students may be required may be required to have access to a Web browser and purchase software. (100% online) |
| Blended Course: The majority of the course content is delivered via the Internet. However, blended learning courses require on-campus sessions for orientations, presentations, exams, labs, and/or other assessment activities with an instructor or in a proctoring setting. The number of face-to-face sessions will vary depending on course requirements. Blended online course require students to have access to a computer. Additionally students may be required to have access to a Web browser and purchase software. |
| Hybrid Course: A "hybrid" course combines both face-to-face classroom instruction and online Internet-based learning. Fifty percent of the student's time is spent in the classroom and fifty percent of the time the student works independently on his/her own computer. For example, in courses where students typically meet face-to-face two days a week, hybrid courses may meet in the classroom once a week and the remaining course time is spent in an online classroom environment. Hybrid courses require students to have access to a computer. |
