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.
Most online courses are asynchronous–allowing for a flexible time frame for you to listen to lectures, complete readings, and submit assignments. Online courses often include synchronous videoconference sessions, during which all students participate at the same time to engage in class discussions, deliver a presentation, or engage with the faculty member or guest lecturer.
Some classes may also be offered in an online synchronous format, meaning students are expected to virtually attend classes on specified days and times, in real-time, using the Zoom platform.
