Learn from Virtually Anywhere
As societies evolve and advance technologically, online learning has increasingly become a great alternative for busy and working adults and proved to be just as effective as traditional classroom environments.
Seeing that this model of learning is fairly new, it's important for you as a student to know what is involved, expected and what kind of support is available to you. Research indicated that prepared and well-supported online learners perform better.
Online Learning for DAY Students

Guide to Online Learning
A major setback for online learning is the lack of skills and tools required to pursue online studies. Therefore, before students can embark on online studies, we require that each student completes a self-evaluation for Online Learning Readiness. This evaluation must be done by all students each semester. A readiness assessment is important because it helps both the student and University to better prepare for online learning
