Courses

Throughout the course of the GTP’s distance learning pilot project, we have employed the following methods to create online learning. We begin with the traditional GTP course materials and Professor and the standard 'Blackboard' website attached thereto. For more about the Blackboard learning environment, see our Technology page here.

As the course begins, our Audio/Visual staff video tapes a class session and then posts the recording onto the course blackboard site. Although it is within the Professor's discretion, most professors make the class videos available to students enrolled in both the traditional, 'live' section as well as the online section. These courses are internally referred to as "Combined" courses because from the perspective of a Professor, the student populations are combined. The following semester, when the Professor may not typically teach the same course, the blackboard site with the video recordings are made available again. The Professor who originally taught the course inspects the materials, both written and visual, to make sure that they reflect current law and are pedagogically sound. We refer to these courses internally as "Online" courses because they do not have a corresponding live section. Finally, it is common that a Professor will teach the same course the following year to a live group of students. While it is often the case that due to scarcity of resources, we cannot re-record this course, the Professor who is once again reviewing and revising materials for that semester will inspect the courses’ written and visual materials for pedagogical soundness. The live course and the online course are functional equivalents of one another. Indeed, students in both sections take the same final exam and are graded on the same curve. Our experience shows that both populations perform comparably. We refer to these courses as "Parallel" courses.
