Format
of Courses
CI
does not offer CEU courses that are just a quick way to earn CEU
credit. Based upon its goal for learners to walk away with the
credit as well as an enhanced knowledge of the course's subject
matter, CI's course design is to equip learners through inductive
reasoning.
In
recognizing that learners prefer to take courses in different
formats based upon their learning styles and need, CI uses more
than one way to offer online Continuing Education Courses. CI
uses discussion questions (DQs) to which learners write out their
responses. After reading the assigned reading learners then write
a short response, usually 250 words, to the DQ. The number of
DQs and the length of the required responses correlate with the
number of continuing education hours for the course.
CI
also uses objective questions (multiple choice or true-false)
to have learners garner essential knowledge from the readings.
Each
course is designed to offer students the opportunity to learn
the content of the specific area. In addition, CI uses the very,
easy-to-use, online platform of Moodle for all of its courses
Learners
also have the option to incorporate a Biblical perspective to
each course. At the end of each course is a passage of Scriputre
about the topic. Learners can choose to respond to the Discussion
about the Scripure. This portion of the course is not calculated
in the pass or fail of the course; it is for enhancement for those
who choose to complete it.
