What better way to learn about Georgetown’s online programs and courses than to hear directly from online students. In this short video, our students will introduce you to Canvas, our online learning platform, which allows you to complete your coursework around your busy schedule.
Georgetown’s online courses provide the same academic content as the on-campus courses, awarding the same number of credits, meeting the same learning objectives, and featuring the same expert faculty.
We utilize the Canvas online learning platform to help instructors make online learning more interactive, authentic, and effective. We also supplement many of our online courses with tools such as VoiceThread, PollEverywhere, and TurnItIn. These methods of enhanced learning provide a robust academic experience that enables global networking among students, faculty, and industry partners.
All online courses are asynchronous, which allows for a flexible time frame for you to listen to lectures, complete readings, and submit assignments. These courses can include live office hours sessions scheduled at the discretion of the teaching faculty.
