Online workshops are courses delivered entirely online through our learning management system, Blackboard.
Most are led by a facilitator with a specific start and end date and are self-paced within that time frame. Facilitators will include a recommended schedule for completing course units and assignments so you don't get behind. Occasionally there may be a requirement to participate in a live session on a specific date and time via IdahoLive. (For more about IdahoLive see Online Webinars below.) Although these courses are self-paced, you do still have interactions with your facilitator and other participants through discussion boards, email, telephone, chat, etc.
Other workshops are entirely self-paced without a facilitator. You choose the start date and then you complete the workshop within a designated number of weeks.
You can access online workshops 24/7 so you can fit your learning into your own schedule.
Qualifying workshops offer the opportunity to sign up for Continuing Education credits through our partner universities. Courses that offer Continuing Education credits are identified in the course description.
Technical requirements for these workshops can be found here.
Online Webinars
Online webinars are live online seminars delivered through IdahoLive, IdahoPD's live virtual classroom. IdahoLive allows facilitators and participants to meet in real time via the Internet. Facilitators and participants work together and communicate using text chat, audio, video and other tools. Many webinars are FREE.
Our webinars are collaborative and interactive and may include instant polling, file sharing, ability to "write" on the screen using an electronic whiteboard, group breakout sessions, etc.
Basic requirements include a computer with Internet connection, speakers and a telephone or microphone to participate in the audio portion of the webinar.
Most webinars are brief, scheduled to last 30 - 60 minutes on a specific scheduled date and time.
Blended
Blended learning combines the best of online and live classroom learning. Some sessions take place face-to-face as described below and some occur online as described above in Online Workshops and Online Webinars. Blended courses take many forms, depending on the amount of time spent online, and the type of online interaction - either facilitated or non-facilitated.
Locations and times for the online and face-to-face portions of blended courses will vary and are clearly identified in the "Additional Information" section of the course description.
Qualifying Blended courses offer the opportunity to sign up for Continuing Education credits through our partner universities. Courses that offer Continuing Education credits are identified in the course description.
Face-to-Face
Face-to-Face learning takes place in the traditional live classroom. This is the type of learning that most of us are used to. Locations will vary throughout the state by course and are clearly identified in the "Additional Information" section of the course description.
Qualifying Face-to-Face courses offer the opportunity to sign up for Continuing Education credits through our partner universities. Courses that offer Continuing Education credits are identified in the course description.
