High-Quality Instruction. Top-tier Faculty.

It's the best of both worlds. All summer classes are taught by faculty trained in online instruction and underscore the top-tier education that has become Spelman's hallmark.

Types of Online Courses: Synchronous Learning vs. Asynchronous Learning

• Synchronous Learning and Asynchronous Learning refer to the type of online experience – although they have their differences, both refer to time.
• Synchronous Learning - The class take place at a specified time, and all students must be online at that time in order to participate.
• Asynchronous Learning - Allows students to take courses on their own schedule. Course materials may be accessed at any time, but students may be given a time frame in which work must be completed.
• Hybrid Learning - A mixture of both asynchronous and synchronous learning.

Learning Platform/Technology Requirements
Our online courses are taught using Canvas and include a variety of multimedia tools and resources. To ensure you can successfully access the multimedia tools in your courses, we recommend that you use a standard PC or Mac desktop or laptop computer with a webcam, headset and microphone.
