ONLINE COURSE DELIVERY
Students in the program progress through the curriculum completing all courses online through the Internet. Courses developed for online delivery maintain the same high standards as any Fordham University course. The method of delivery is the only difference.
Students and faculty access their online course through a course management system called Blackboard. Each course has its own course page (web page) within Blackboard. Students and faculty login to Blackboard and link to their course. On the course page you will find announcements about the course and links to the rest of the course content.
Within the online course, students will find a course syllabus, communication links for email, staff information, helpful resources, the learning space and discussion board. The Learning Space contains most of the content for the course.
Typically, as our student’s progress through the Learning Space each week, they will hear faculty lectures, view presentations and videos, read literature, and then reflect on what they have experienced. Students may write papers, take examinations, conduct research and complete other weekly assignments.
Additionally, students participate on a Discussion Board making the course highly interactive. Students share their insights, observations and experiences with the other students and the faculty on the Discussion Board.

*This course must be taken on-campus and is offered as a one week intensive workshop during the early summer session (usually mid-June)
