Flexible and engaging ways to learn

As the demand for high-quality online courses and programs increases, our goal at Western Continuing Studies is to ensure that our courses in the virtual classroom are as engaging and meaningful as face-to-face classes.

Not all online courses are the same

We have redesigned our online courses to meet the needs of our diverse learners. Our courses are offered in four online formats providing you with the flexibility to learn by removing the limits of time and space.

	ONLINE - PACED An interactive and structured way to learn online, you will engage and learn with your class and instructor through our online learning management system, discussion forums and webinars. Plan to log into your course regularly as there are weekly readings and set due dates for assignments. There are no mandatory class meetings, and for added flexibility, all webinars are recorded to allow you to watch when it is most convenient for you.
	ONLINE - SELF-PACED Learning at your own pace, you have access to all course materials and advance through the course at a pace that works for your learning and lifestyle.
	ONLINE - WITH REAL-TIME LEARNING With the convenience of online learning with the immediacy of real-time interaction, you have access to course materials and work through weekly milestones at a pace that works for your learning and lifestyle. Engage real-time in our virtual classroom during the scheduled weekly live sessions.
	ONLINE - LIVE Live in our virtual classroom, this interactive learning experience allows you to engage live with your class and instructor through our online learning management system. Just like in person learning, classes are scheduled at specific times.
