The Future of Higher Learning

We’re creating the “future of higher learning” at PennWest. But what exactly does that mean? It’s making sure our students have options in how they want to learn.

Here are the types of class delivery we offer students.

Face-to-Face — Students learn directly from their professor in the classroom on their campus.

Online — The content for an online class is loaded into the D2L shell (where students select your classes) and can move through each class at their own pace. This is often called “asynchronous” learning, but the gist is: learn on your time and your schedule, wherever you are.

Multimodal —These classes are delivered in the classroom from a selected campus. However, students still have the opportunity to Zoom in from another campus to take the class. This is sometimes called “synchronous” learning. That means that if a student is Zooming into the class, they’ll need to follow the class schedule.

Why these new ways to learn?

Because it allows students to get the absolute best from PennWest.

Options are no longer defined by the professors or programs on one campus; all students have access to our entire network of faculty. Helping students get the most from their college experience, wherever they are.
