University of Phoenix - America's largest accredited private university
The University of Phoenix Online was formed in 1989 and currently enrolls degree-seeking adult students from all over the U.S. and the world. It is a group-based learning environment offering the kind of interaction and support which take place in a traditional face-to-face seminar-style classroom.
Since 1989, our
computer-based educational delivery system has extended the boundaries of the classroom. The Online program uses the power of the Internet to deliver online learning that is independent of time and location. Rather than gathering in a classroom, students and instructors interact online or offline in a forum using Microsoft® technology.
How the Program Works
In the Online program communication is many-to-many rather than one-to-one. Each class shares its own group mailbox, which serves as an "electronic classroom." While communication between individuals is common, each class uses a group forum where students put their work and ideas before classmates for comment. This upgrades the quality of most work before its more formal, academic review by the instructor. Students can access research material from the University's Electronic Library.
The Online program is designed to benefit working professionals in a number of ways. Classes are offered one at a time, in sequence. There are no semesters, so students can begin a course of study any month of the year. A student can concentrate on one subject at a time, and when a class is completed he or she can move on to the next one until all degree requirements are met.
Each online class lasts five or six weeks. A student can sign on any hour of the day or night, taking part at times that best fit his or her schedule. While this flexibility is unprecedented, it requires greater than average discipline and does not allow a student to "coast." Students devote an average of fifteen to twenty hours a week to their studies.
What It's Like
Typically, on the first day of the week the instructor sends introductory information on the week's topic and confirms the assignments, such as
reading from the textbook, completing a case study, or preparing a paper on the topic you're studying.
The instructor also posts a short lecture or elaborates on the material, and provides discussion questions related to the topic. Throughout the week you work on your reading and assignments on your own, just as you would in a traditional classroom setting. You use the computer conferencing system to participate in the class discussion and ask questions/receive feedback. When your assignments are due, you send them to your instructor online, s/he grades them and sends them back to you with comments.
