Flexible Online Classes
UND's Indigenous Digital Humanities and Cultural Collections Care courses are delivered
100% online. You may never have to come to campus.
The online Indigenous Digital Humanities and Cultural Collections Care courses are
offered either in synchronous or asynchronous formats, giving you maximum flexibility
to complete the degree in the style you prefer. In many courses, you'll be expected to participate in "live" discussions held outside
of classroom lecture times.
With asynchronous classes, you do not attend class at a set time. If you need to balance
work, family and other commitments, this flexible format allows you to learn anywhere
at any time.
Depending on your instructor, you’ll learn online through:
Lesson modules
Streaming video content
Virtual libraries
Posted lectures
Online simulations
There will be times when you interact with your instructor and classmates through
online discussion boards, polls and chat rooms.
Your learning revolves around materials that can be accessed on your own time within
a set time frame. However, this is not a self-paced course. You’ll have structure
and deadlines.
Synchronous classes are held in real-time. If you’re the kind of learner who likes
active discussion and immediate feedback through live interaction, you’ll enjoy this
online course format.
Every class is different, but generally, you’ll log into a virtual classroom at scheduled
times to:
Listen to a lecture
Ask questions
Participate in class discussions
Conduct group activities
Participate in video-sharing
Have chat conversations
Use interactive whiteboards
Take live polls
You should prepare for your classes by finishing any assigned readings, compiling
questions for your instructor and thinking about how to contribute to the next live
class.
