What
is CyberEd?
CyberEd
is a means of delivering virtual courses through use of the World Wide Web (WWW)
and email. Courses are structured around a teacher's weekly assignments. Students
participate in class by sharing thoughts and ideas through message boards and
other electronic means. There
is no set time when students must be at their computers. The nature of this system
allows for greater flexibility, both for students and teachers. The weekly structure
keeps the class on track and focussed on the same educational goals while allowing
an escape from the scheduling demands and conflicts of traditional university
courses. We have been in operation since Fall of
1995. We were the first university (we know of) to offer distance learning courses
via the World Wide Web. As CyberEd and similar programs across the country expand,
so too does the opportunity to obtain education when and where you most need it.
As educators we are proud to have helped pioneer this endeavor and hope the trend
toward never ending learning continues well into the next millennium.
