Teaching Methods
Flexible Scheduling: Graduate students do not attend classes weekly, do not travel to Bozeman more than once a year (Fall semester face-to-face intensives for all students and orientation plus intensives for first year students), and are not required to travel to one of the College’s state-wide campuses (Billings, Great Falls, Bozeman, Kalispell, or Missoula) unless desired. All courses are anchored in Desire2Learn/Brightspace for a variety of asynchronous activities throughout the semester.
Synchronous Intensive Classes: At the discretion of course faculty each semester, classes meet synchronously via
video conference (WebEx) on a monthly basis. Dates and times are announced at the
beginning of each academic year.
Asynchronous: These are times during a semester that individual students log on to Desire2Learn/Brightspace
(at their convenience) to participate in class discussions, submit assignments, take
quizzes or exams, complete content modules, or other similar activities.
