OCL Format - Online
Synchronous Learning
Synchronous means occurring at the same time. With this format, you will participate in live interactive online sessions during scheduled weekly evenings between 6 to 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and go through the learning path together with your student colleagues and your instructor. You will analyze case studies, engage in group work and deliver presentations virtually in real time.
Asynchronous Learning
Asynchronous means not keeping time together. With this format, you will access and review course content, demonstrate what you have learned and communicate with your classmates and instructor on your own time throughout the week of a scheduled class.
Sample Schedules – See below
Complete the program at your own pace. Some students prefer a more accelerated program plan and take multiple courses per semester. Others desire a slower pace and complete the program by taking one course each semester.
