Online Tools to Support Your Individual Learning Style

As an NU online student, you'll have access to interactive tools that support your individual learning style.

Throughout your program, you'll collaborate with professors and classmates, working together to create a strong community within the online classroom.

Moving beyond the walls of a brick-and-mortar classroom, online classes use resources and communications tools that enhance learning, such as:

• Threaded Discussion — Dialogue, discuss, and debate with your classmates and the instructor at your leisure, day or night. Integral to the online learning experience, these discussions enable you to articulate your understanding of the course content while learning from your peers.
• Interactive Learning Tools — Learning objects and interactive elements engage students in active participation. Videos, 3D environments, blogs, and eBooks are all elements that are used in the online class environment. Interactive flashcards, pre-tests, and quizzes allow students to practice their knowledge. Voiceover PowerPoints, recorded lectures, and resource links provide rich supplemental materials for access throughout the course.
• Course Gradebook — Monitor your academic progress, review your exam and discussion board grades, and keep track of your course feedback in one easy-to-access place
• Announcements — Instructors post important dates, reminders, revisions, and other critical information online.

One-on-One Interaction with Instructors and Classmates

Do you like asking questions, receiving personalized feedback, and talking with your peers and instructors? Whether you are outgoing and demand frequent interaction with others or are more reserved and prefer less interaction, National's online class structure provides the flexibility to fit your needs.

Through group projects, threaded discussions, emails, and online conversations, you develop and strengthen your writing, critical thinking, and team-building skills. Collaborative communication is a central component of National University's online degree programs.

Online, faculty members are accessible every day. They regularly monitor and participate in class discussions, and video chat lets you and your instructor talk in real-time, almost as if you were sitting face to face.

Experienced Online Faculty

Recognizing that the nature of teaching and learning is different in the online classroom, National University's distinguished faculty members skillfully design all coursework to provide a balance between presentation and content. Faculty members are trained in online instruction, which enhances their teaching competencies and adds depth to their understanding of the online student experience.

Helping You Succeed Online

Whether you are unfamiliar with online learning or an expert at it, our instructors, advisors, and student services staff work with you every step of the way to help you succeed.

Our Advisors Know You By Name

Serving as a single point of contact, your online advisor assists you from the day you begin your National University program until the time you graduate. Advisors do all of the legwork, helping you find the right instructor, credential analyst, or financial aid counselor. You can contact an advisor anytime, and they will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
