Norwich University has built a leading-edge online campus, using the consistent and integrated efforts of faculty, support staff, administrators, students and alumni. We have built an environment that promotes networking, peer-support and one-on-one contact with Norwich faculty.
The online learning environment takes the traditional classroom to the next level and here is how:
- Focus is on the student — With online learning, you are empowered to learn on your own and even to teach one another. Through the discussion group mode, you have the opportunity to explain, share, comment upon, and critique course materials. But you also get to learn from experts in the field as your instructor dialogs with and mentors you.
- Discussion — Online discussions are asynchronous. This format affords you extra time to contemplate questions and compose well-crafted responses creating a valuable exchange of ideas and thoughts.
- Writing — The main method of communication in an online course is writing. Discussions, requests for assistance, assignments, projects and tests are mostly done in written form. Writing is a skill that is indispensable.
- Access to extensive resources — The Kreitzberg Library serves all Norwich University students and faculty, whether online or on-campus. The library currently provides access to 100 online databases, 22,000 full-text electronic journals and tens of thousands of e-Books In addition, the library provides books in print and journal articles through the Document Delivery service for those resources that are unavailable online. This enables you to do professional and scholarly research without having to leave home. The reference staff provides research assistance through e-mail, phone, and instant messaging and a dedicated Distance Learning Librarian is available to show you how to get the most out of the library's resources.
- Immediate response & feedback — Office hours are round-the-clock for an online course. With just a click, you can send questions and requests to professors, program directors, or fellow students and expect to receive feedback within 24 hours.
- Flexibility — Online learning knows no time zones, and location and distance are not an issue. The program is based on an innovative asynchronous model. So there is no need to attend real-time instruction.
- Small group — Class sizes are limited to 15 students or less, and are called cohorts. Cohort members progress through the program together and participate in online discussions and other learning activities. The varying background of cohort members brings tremendous value to the learning experience.
- Networking — You will have individualized attention from faculty and develop close relationships with fellow students as you interact with them creating a vast network of professional contacts. You will have an opportunity to build long-lasting personal and professional relationships.
