Most online training classes consist of pre-recorded presentations delivered over the web. Is that how the IIP and EIP Online Classes work?
Not really. Given the complexity of the subject covered, the IIP and EIP Online Classes strongly depend on extensive interaction among participants, as well as between participants and instructors. Accordingly, each of these classes takes place in a two-week period and consists of 10 separate learning steps (see the IIP Class Flow illustration below as an example), each of which employs one of these formats: • Individual Activity: self-paced learning. Examples are self-contained multimedia lectures (Computer-Based Training Modules) or reading assignments. • Team Activity: working in a team of about 4-6 students. Examples are team assignments, case studies, or simulated team events. Some of these activities are supported by participating instructors. • Class Activity: a Live Virtual Meeting with all Online Class participants and the class instructors.
