The AIU Online Learning Experience
One of the most advanced course delivery systems in modern education
At AIU Online, we believe that learning should not be measured by hours spent in a physical classroom or how much you can memorize simply to pass a test. What's far more important is how much you actually learn and retain while you're enrolled here.
Our degree programs are designed not only to test your memory but also your comprehension and ability to properly apply information learned in class to a real-world setting.
We've removed the barriers of a physical classroom, empowering you to learn as much as you want as fast as you can. You'll get a quality education from the convenience of any Internet-connected computer. You'll be able to study at home, at work (if you're planning on having a job while you get your degree) or even from a wireless café with your laptop!
As a recent high school graduate, you're very likely an ideal candidate for being a successful online student. You undoubtedly are familiar with using the kinds of technology we use in our virtual classrooms: web surfing, multimedia video, online chats and email, to name just a few.
The AIU Online course delivery system combines Flash technology and rich, interactive multimedia, providing one of the most sophisticated online degree programs in the education industry. In addition to the dynamic presentation, you can:
- Listen to lectures as many times as you like and print out hard copies for your records.
- Communicate with instructors and fellow students via e-mail or participate in real-time chat sessions.
- Take a virtual trip to our online library, which brings the resources of a full academic library to a student's desktop computer, providing anytime online access to thousands of articles from newspapers, magazines and scholarly journals.
Furthermore, all of AIU Online's instructors are experts in the fields they teach. Not only do they have advanced degrees, they are working professionals who bring real-world relevance into each and every virtual classroom. That means you'll not only gain valuable insights into the potential careers that interest you, you'll also have opportunities to establish professional connections that may become valuable once you graduate and begin to establish your career.
AIU Online also places an important emphasis on group projects in addition to individual studies. Classmates team-up to complete numerous assignments, giving them an opportunity to interact and develop the kind of group dynamic relationships that will serve them well in the working world.
Another great thing about learning in a virtual classroom is that you can be yourself. Whether you're shy or outgoing, extremely focused or a bit laid back, and even if you're juggling your education with a job, AIU Online's unique learning model provides opportunities for all students to get an equal education because everyone is able to manage his or her studies in the manner that is most efficient and effective for them.
AIU Online brings a whole new dimension to the concept of education, and it's really only limited by your capacity and desire to take advantage of an amazingly flexible, incredibly interactive, inspiringly revolutionary learning environment.
