Online Learning

 System Requirements for Online Learning at Winthrop University

 

Online Course Structure

For a fully-online course your maybe taking activities and resources can be found through our course website on Blackboard. At designated times throughout the semester, you may will participate in a blend of self-paced and group-paced activities using Blackboard tools such as discussion forums, assignments, announcements, e-mail, journaling, and wikis. All of the learning activities will be completed in your own time so long as they are completed by the dates and times shown in the course schedule.
