4. What is "distributed" learning? [back to list of questions]
Fielding Graduate University is world renowned for its approach to distributed
learning. It is an approach that does not require a specific, physical
location in order to facilitate learning. Some of the characteristics
of a distributed learning environment include the incorporation of technology,
in-person, distance-oriented and other interactive tools to support various
learning styles. Fielding places an emphasis on collaborative learning
with peers and community interaction.
5. Is online training similar to a chat
room? [back to list of questions]
The online learning environment consists of reading, task assignments
and your posted responses (like e-mail responses). The discussion does
not occur in "real time", so you have time to reflect on the
readings and other students' responses before you post your thoughts.
Fielding's online learning environment uses dialogue format. We talk,
argue, laugh, make jokes, and learn from each other. Because everyone
can see everyone else's responses, we call this a "threaded discussion"
format. You will receive training in navigating the online environment
at your orientation session.
