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

Is a form of education/learning modality in which learners and instructors are in the same place, at the same time, in order for learning to take place. This includes in-person classes or live online meetings. 

Face to Face

Regular face-to-face classes with campus attendance using Moodle and other tools provided by the instructor to complete assignments and assessments.

Live Online

Online/virtual classes with full time instructors. Using online tools, Moodle collaborate, chat rooms, and other online tools provided by the instructor to complete assignments and assessments.

Dual Delivery

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

Asynchronous Learning

Is a form of education/learning modality that does not occur in the same place or at the same time. It uses resources that facilitate information sharing outside the constraints of time and place among students.

Self Paced Instructor-led

Online learning modality through the available learning material, with weekly office hours and instructor feedback on assignments and assessments. Modules are opened on a weekly basis and set assignment completion dates.

Fully Self Paced

Online learning with complete learner autonomy where it proceeds based on the learner's response through the available learning material, using online tools for completing assignments and online assessment.
