Delivery Method:
Presentational Cooperative (PC)
In this course delivery model students meet once per week to participate in cooperative learning activities facilitated by an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. The Presentational Cooperative Model reproduces most of the cost advantages of traditional lecture course while offering students more convenient access and more effective conditions for learning. Courses using this model will build the collaborative work skills that are a primary learning goal for SFU Students. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment may be based on individual and group assignments, quizzes, projects, and examinations.
