SCE Learning Modalities

In line with our mission and vision to provide lifelong learning, and extend the resources of School of Continuing Education (SCE) to the diverse needs of all learners and ensure we are catering to a wide array of students, and providing learning opportunities that fulfill the different needs, the SCE provides different modes of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities that aim at providing ultimate learning flexibility at all times.

Synchronous Learning

Synchronous learning occurs when learners and instructors engage in real-time interactions, whether in person or online, ensuring simultaneous participation in educational activities.

Face to Face

Traditional classroom-based learning with in-person attendance. These sessions are supported by digital tools (e.g., Moodle) to enhance the learning experience. Learners complete assignments, prepare for sessions, and participate in assessments under the instructor's guidance.

Live Online

Virtual classes are conducted entirely online and led by full-time instructors. Course activities, including lectures, discussions, and assessments, take place in real time through virtual platforms with scheduled meetings. Active participation and attendance at these sessions are typically required.

Dual Delivery

SCE Dual Delivery classrooms are designed to enhance accessibility and flexibility for our learners, ensuring uninterrupted learning and promoting active engagement through advanced classroom technologies. Learners can choose between in-person or remote attendance, enabling them to learn simultaneously in their preferred environment.

Asynchronous Learning

Asynchronous learning allows learners to access course materials and complete activities at their own pace without requiring simultaneous participation.

Self Paced Instructor-led

This modality combines self-paced learning with structured support from an instructor. Modules are released weekly, with set deadlines for assignments and assessments. Interaction occurs through discussion forums, recorded lectures, or other tools, and instructors provide feedback during scheduled office hours and on submitted work.

Self-Paced Autonomous

Learners progress entirely on their own, interacting with online course materials and completing automated assignments and assessments. This modality offers no real-time sessions or peer interaction, and learners receive feedback only through automated systems or at the end of the course with final grades.
