COVID-19 has impacted students all over the world. Increasingly, universities are finding themselves having to offer courses 100% online. For California Intercontinental University (CIU) offering degree programs 100% online has been the standard to allow professionals the ability to progress academically, grow professionally and earn their degree from an accredited institution. At California Intercontinental University offering courses online is nothing new, but starting in the Fall of 2020, CIU developed and implemented a framework for its courses that is focused on enhancing the online learning experience for students.
For students attending classes online, their time should be spent on learning and not on figuring out how to learn. Oftentimes, students attending a University may find themselves having to learn a Learning Management System, such as Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard, also known as an LMS, instead of learning the course material. It is important for our students to grow, and we acknowledge that time is limited, that is why our academic team has redesigned how students experience a course.The new course design is called ClearPath.
The ClearPath course design allows students to focus on learning and not on how to learn. It has three key components that allows students to easily navigate through their course and provides a clear path to their assignments or coursework. Students will find that it guides them on how to start their course and it provides an easily accessible option to access additional resources. And as always, live help is only one click away for students attending California Intercontinental University.
Additionally, the ClearPath design was developed with the working professional in mind. When students login to their courses they will be pleasantly surprised by the minimalist nature and delivery of the course. This is done by design in order to facilitate a user experience that will not be hindered by slow download speeds or a slow internet connection. We limit the amount of large images and plugins that can slow page load times so that you can get to what is important, i.e., obtaining the knowledge you need to succeed in tomorrow’s business world. We know that working professionals can be accessing their courses at an airport, coffee shop, or anywhere around the world. Therefore it is important for the course material to load quickly for our students so they can focus on learning.
Today taking a course at California Intercontinental University means that you will have a clear path to success. You will be able to see where to start, what you need to for your academic studies, and finally you will have all the resources and help at your fingertips. It is the ultimate goal of California Intercontinental University to guide all of our students to career and academic success during their program and after graduation.
ClearPath course design is just another way that California Intercontinental University is collaborating to enhance the student experience. With the feedback of students and the research of the academic team students will find themselves learning new concepts that they will be able to apply in their professional careers rather than spending time trying to learn a learning management system (LMS). California Intercontinental University is constantly working to enhance the student’s learning experience, and this is just one example of how the faculty looks to improve the student’s learning experience.
