Distance Learning
Each semester, LIM College offers select courses in a distance learning format.
Instead of attending classes on campus, students can take some or all of their courses virtually. Canvas*, our Learning Management System, is the primary means through which LIM College conducts its distance learning, allowing the instructor to post the syllabus, course materials, and activities/assignments.
Canvas allows the use of several communication tools:
- Discussion Boards
- Real-time chat
- Video-conferencing
Learning materials vary from class to class, but may include:
- Readings
- Recorded Lectures
- Videos | Podcasts
- Industry interviews
- Interactive lessons
- Web resources
Learning activities may include:
- Reviewing and responding to recorded lectures
- Responding to online discussion prompts
- Recording audio/video responses to discussion prompts
- Writing essays, reflections, and research papers
- Participating in individual, pair, or group projects
- Creating multi-media presentations
- Assessing your learning through quizzes
