e-Pack
Courses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
e-Pack courses are designed for students who want the
structure of a semester-based course, but do not require
mentor guidance and do not wish to complete written
assignments or share interactive discussions with other
students. e-Pack courses are completed in a 12-week
semester and are based around a textbook, a series of
short online diagnostic quizzes and a comprehensive
final examination.
Guided
Study Courses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guided Study courses are designed for those students
who prefer less supervision. These independent, distancelearning courses run in a 12-week term. Students work on
their own and use textbooks, study guides, CDs, DVDs
and other materials to complete lessons and assignments.
Students are assigned mentors who answer course-related
questions and grade assignments and examinations.
Students communicate with mentors via email and/or
telephone. Assignments are submitted electronically.
Learning is evaluated by proctored midterm and final
examinations that take place online or at a location near a
students home or office. Course documents are delivered
online via myEdison.
