What is E-Learning?
Electronic courses require more self-discipline than traditional on-campus classes, and E-courses require much more time than on-campus courses. Expect to spend anywhere from 10-15 hours per week per online course. Also, many of the traditional courses taught at Delta are enhanced by the use of Joule.
Online Courses
Students taking online courses will be required to attend an orientation at Delta on how to use the Joule Platform. This orientation is held the Saturday before each semester. The date and time can be found on the semester calendar. Students taking an online course are required to take a face-to-face final on campus. Information about the time and place for the final will be provided by the online teacher. Students need to be self-motivated with good study and time management skills.
