Learn the difference between instructor-led and self-directed
Throughout the online certificate and course site, there are icons that indicate whether a course is led by an instructor or if the coursework is self-directed . There are some important distinctions in how these courses work.
There are several similarities:
- Students can participate at any time of the day or evening. Classrooms are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- There are no live real-time requirements or meetings.
- There is a start date and an end date, and all coursework must be completed within that timeframe (some exceptions may apply).
- Quizzes, self-assessments, and exams are used to assess student learning.
