Online Delivery

The Faculty of Education offers various programs or courses that are delivered in whole or in part such that students do not need to travel to the University of Alberta campus to attend traditional face-to-face classes. Alternative delivery courses typically utilize the Internet to enable students and instructors to communicate using either asynchronous systems (participants not necessarily online at the same time, e.g. WebCT) or synchronous systems (participants must be online at the same time, e.g. Elluminate).

Teacher-Librarianship by Distance Learning (TL-DL)

The Teacher-Librarianship by Distance Learning program prepares teachers to work as teacher-librarians in elementary and secondary schools. This Master of Education degree can be taken entirely online and focuses on leadership in inquiry, literacies, technology and resources. Students can continue to work part-time or full-time in their home location while completing their programs. While the program was developed to meet the needs of teachers wishing to become teacher-librarians, the program would also be of interest to classroom teachers and school administrators interested in learning more about teaching and learning in information-rich environments.
