The Centre for Distance Education at Atkinson provides students with information and administrative support for Internet, correspondence and mixed-mode (lecture-Internet) courses. Web access support is available along with assistance for assignment submission and off-site examination scheduling.
Internet and Correspondence Courses
Study at your own pace with Atkinson's Internet and correspondence courses. You can learn from the convenience of your home, office, or from the other side of the world. Atkinson's distance courses use the same textbooks and materials as in-class instruction and cover the same course content. Distance courses count towards your degree in exactly the same way as other in-class courses. Create a more flexible schedule by mixing in-class courses with Internet and correspondence courses or even complete an entire program by distance. For a current course offerings listing you may refer to http://www.atkinson.yorku.ca/CDE/.
Students taking correspondence courses obtain instructional information, assignments, course requirements and relevant materials in a hard copy course kit. Students taking Internet courses can view this information online at the Courses Web site. For both Internet and correspondence, students are required to complete assignments, (due on specific dates) and to write the exams at the University or an alternative location as scheduled.
Detailed Internet and correspondence course information is available on the course outlines, from the Atkinson Web site: http://www.atkinson.yorku.ca and from the Next Steps Web site: http://www.atkinson.yorku.ca/CDE/nextsteps.htm. The course outline includes academic and text requirements and the Next Steps Web site includes information for registered students i.e.computer requirements/accounts, access instructions and specialized administrative information.
Programs Offered via Distance
Atkinson offers a bachelor of administrative studies (BAS) degree, a bachelor of arts (BA) in public service studies and a management certificate entirely by combining the flexibility of Internet and correspondence. Detailed degree requirements, prerequisites and descriptions are available online in the York Undergraduate Calendar available from http://www.atkinson.yorku.ca.
Mixed-Mode Courses: In-class and Internet
Atkinson offers mixed-mode courses which blend in-class and Internet modes of delivery. These courses combine and alternate on-campus classes with Internet online lectures. Mixed-mode courses combine the best of both teaching methods.
