Do you have what it takes to succeed as an online student? Here are some tips for success. >>
The Early Intervention Certificate Program is designed for flexible learning. As a "hybrid" program, your work in each course will include a combination of face-to-face (F2F) class meetings, individual assignments, and online communication and activities. In this program, approximately 25% of each course is conducted "F2F" and 75% takes place online.
Each course has different requirements, which will include some or all of the following activities.
Class meetings provide valuable opportunities to learn from your instructors and fellow students. Classes will be active and participatory. Activities include presentations, demonstrations, group exercises, observation and interpretation, and active discussions.
The Blackboard discussion board will be the core of your class communication. Most weeks, your instructor will post one or more questions that require your response. The discussion board is also a good place to post questions you have on course content and assignments. If you have a question, it's likely that someone else needs to know the same thing!
Just like in a traditional course, your instructor will assign readings in textbooks and articles. You may be able to access some articles through online links. The Northeastern Library's "Research and Information Gateway" gives you online access to the library's collection of research databases.
Your instructor may provide information, typically delivered in a class lecture, in an alternative format - as a text document, an online slide presentation, or an audio narration.
As an interdisciplinary program, your courses will provide opportunities to work with students and professionals in other fields to complete assignments. Your instructor may set up a special area in Blackboard for your group to have its own communication tools - email, file sharing, discussion board, and chat. These will help your group communicate and give you an online area with access restricted to members of your group.
Each course will require you to complete individual written assignments in the form of papers or projects. Make sure you check how each assignment is to be submitted. Your instructor may ask you to use particular software and name documents in a specific way. You may be asked to submit documents using the Digital Drop Box, through a Blackboard Assignment item, and/or in hard copy by mail.
From time to time, your instructor may plan a "synchronous" chat session, when the class will log on to Blackboard at the same time and have a "live" discussion through the Virtual Classroom tool. Text chat works similarly to instant messaging, where you type in a comment, and it appears for all participants to read. You may also use this tool to talk to other students working with you on a group project.
Each instructor will post information on how to contact him/her in Blackboard. Your instructor will communicate with you through Announcements in Blackboard, email, and the discussion board. It's a good idea to log in to your Blackboard courses at least a few times a week to check for new messages.
