Continuing Education Online Learning

Welcome to On-Line Learning!

This form of study usually involves a combination of courses delivered on-line via a conferencing system (FirstClass software or Web Based) and through print-based texts and workbooks.

Learning is facilitated by an instructor who keeps in touch with students through the on-line conferencing system and e-mail.

The on-line system serves as a virtual classroom that students may attend weekly anytime that suits them.

Here, they are able to interact with fellow students and their instructor through conference based discussions, and are able to receive and submit assignments.

Students can pre-register for their exams online. All assignments and exams are to be completed by the final date of the course.
Note that many of our on-line learning courses and programs are in partnership with the OntarioLearn Consortium.
