Go at Your Own Pace with Schulich ExecEd’s e+ Online Programs

One of the reasons Schulich ExecEd has been able to take the lead in the conversion of in-class programs to virtual classroom delivery in response to the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic is the experience and knowledge gained before the health emergency with the development of our self-paced e+ online programs.

In designing our e+ online programs, we consulted extensively with past program attendees, program instructors and instructional design experts to ensure we developed the most effective online learning possible. Our e+ online programs deliver the comprehensive core material needed to quickly master the topic at hand, and give students the flexibility to learn at their own pace from the convenience of home or office, at times that suit them.

Rather than taking place face-to-face in the virtual classroom, our e+ online programs consist of five or six learning modules released weekly. The modules consist of pre-recorded instructional videos, interactive quizzes with customized feedback to assess your learning progress, case studies and mini-projects to enrich your learning, all accessed through a convenient centralized learning management portal.

They also provide the opportunity to learn and work collaboratively with peers and instructors through guided and free form discussions and interchanges. The continuous instructor interaction and peer networking bring an added dimension, enriching your experience in the same ways our in class programs do. The result is the most effective way for participants to learn and apply the concepts to their real world challenges.

The benefits of Schulich ExecEd’s e+ online programs are many: enhanced flexibility and convenience associated with 24/7 access from anywhere; higher retention rates through self-paced learning and revisiting material as required; deeper engagement through state of the art instructional design; continuous instructor and peer interaction that guides and enriches your learning experience; an extended time frame that allows learning to be applied to daily work challenges in between modules for discussion and feedback; and a greener alternative which reduces your carbon footprint.

It’s a testament to the quality of our e+ online programs that one of our offerings, Guided Self-Coaching for New Supervisors and Managers, recently won international recognition from the International E-Learning Association. The program received an honourable mention in the Academic Division’s E-Learning category in a ceremony held online Sept. 12. The International E Learning Awards recognize the best uses of technology to improve learning and job performance within companies or through individual professional development.
