This program is especially designed for the person who can't
possibly make it to a classroom module, but comprehends the
energy and self-confidence that comes from interacting with an
instructor one-on-one! By moving away from the event-based
approach to studying, this course allows you the
convenience of studying at home, PLUS the Instruction you would
get in a Classroom Environment!
We are introducing for the
April 2012 semester an
entirely redesigned course that integrates the use of Web 2.0 technologies with traditional formal learning methods, making it a true
convergence of technology, process and techniques. In redeveloping this course, we did not
walk away from fundamental learning methods, instead we are worked
hard to provide a learning strategy which offered
the best in e-learning and increased interactivity with an
instructor.

Comments on this program.
This
is How It Works:
-
After
you receive your study materials and directions, your lessons
will begin in the comfort of your home or office and may be
completed as leisurely as you wish. Depending on when you
start the course, you can plan on spending 3-6 hours a
week studying.
-
You
will have constant communication and counseling
with your instructor.
-
With our Students Corner you will take end of chapter quizzes, a midterm, and a
final exam online. Your results will be automatically submitted
to your instructor, who will then contact you with the detailed
corrections, discuss with you any problem areas and answer your
questions. These tests are strictly voluntary, but an
excellent way for you to assess your personal strengths and
weakness.
-
With our Students
Corner you will have an ONLINE
REVIEW of the
chapters in your Textbook, plus Video Lectures, that you can view
24/7 anywhere you have an internet connection!
-
Your Audio CD's
(now also as MP3 files) will provide the information you need to memorize before you go into
the test - use them in the car, at home or at work.
-
Bulletin Board - so you can communicate with other
students across the nation.
-
The
Review Webinars will finish your studies
with a virtual classroom experience. There will be Ten
Review Webinars, held three days a week, beginning in February 2012, and depending on the number of
questions, these live Webinars will be 1-2 hours in length.
If you miss a Webinar, or want to review one, a video covering the same information, will
be posted inside your Students Corner. You may have
attended a Webinar that was deadly dull and boring, but
you will find that the LTS instructors execute a solid
innovative and motivating delivery of material.
You will have a higher level of self-confidence, when
you take the exam, after attending these Webinars.
You
set your own schedule for completion! You can finish in one month, two months or three months
or...? You
can do five lessons a week or none. Fit the program to your
lifestyle
as long as it is completed and the final test sent in before March 30, 2012!
A Certificate -
suitable for framing - will be sent to you, upon completion
of the program.
