Online Teaching & Learning Approach

We will implement a balanced approach of synchronous and asynchronous sessions in each of our courses, which includes live lectures, guest speakers, group discussions and activities blended with self-directed learning and exploration. Synchronous sessions will happen weekly over the course of a term. We will also provide virtual tours of places such as the Saahlinda Naay Haida Gwaii Museum and Haida Heritage Centre, where our in-person classroom is located, as well as a selection of other field sites like GuuhlG̱a Siiway Spirit Lake Trail or the Delkatla Wildlife Sanctuary.

Although apart, we will work together to create a sense of community in our online courses and look forward to building a unique and rewarding learning experience with you.

Eligibility

Our courses are 300-level or third year undergraduate, which means they cater to individuals with at least two years of post-secondary experience who are comfortable with the workload that comes with upper division courses. However, we do not have any set pre-requisites and as such our courses are open to individuals with other kinds of academic, personal, or professional experience that would make them well suited candidates for these courses. If you are interested in the content and are committed to the learning process, we invite you to register.

For questions or to discuss your eligibility, please reach out to our team.
