An Online Course with Francie Dalton, CMC

Online courses are conducted entirely over the internet. Presenters and attendees participate directly from their computers, through a website that allows students to watch video presentations and participate in online discussions by typing in ideas and comments.

Like traditional face-to-face courses, online courses provide presentations by leading experts, along with interactive workshops, discussion forums, networking opportunities, and many other resources such as a library of readings on important topics for the course.

An online course is accessible using any standard web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox) and you may log in and participate at any time that fits your schedule, day or night.

This course is appropriate for all industries, all functions, and all professions:

• Managers and supervisors
• Strategic planners
• Project managers
• Those responsible for achieving outcomes
• Anyone who wants to get "there" faster

The course will be given over 6 weeks, from April 19 through May 26, 2010.

The course fee is $495 USD.

• Step-by-step instruction from Francie Dalton, CMC
• Weekly assignments
• On-demand audio/video presentations
• Live sessions with instructor
• Online discussion opportunities

A few days before the course site opens (April 19), you will receive an email with the URL (internet address) for the course website, and your login ID and password.

These notices, and all announcements about the course, will come from this email address: sqldba@icohere.com. In order to prevent these notices going to your spam mailbox, we suggest placing this e-mail address in your e-mail address book. We ask, however, that you do not send any email to this address, because it will simply disappear into cyberspace.

Here are some estimates of how long the course events will take. (CAE credits may be earned on an hout-by-hour basis.)

• The six pre-recorded course presentations last for approximately 45 minutes each.
• Posting comments and assignments to the online discussions will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes per week.
• The six live sessions will last for 1 hour each.

All participants will have full access to the course website for 30 days following the end of the course, which includes all presentation archives and recordings, discussion threads, video recordings, library resources, and other tools.
