Students at UoPeople enjoy the support of a community of dedicated educators, who are responsible for the selection and development of learning materials. Our community of educators is comprised of active and retired professors, masters-level students and other professionals, who will participate in and oversee the assessment process. Voluntary academic experts and experienced business and computer networking personnel, who have joined the community of educators, will be able to respond to student needs on an individual basis and via participation in the forums.
The Course Instructor
Each study group (or class) will have a course instructor. The instructors are a central element in the student support system, facilitating learning through:
- Monitoring course forums to ensure that student’s questions are being properly answered.
- Providing access to information resources such as online libraries and additional learning materials
The instructors work together with the Academic Operations Director to ensure that all students receive the support they need to succeed in their studies.
UoPeople has developed unique admission and exit graduation requirements setting assessment standards and assigning grades. Together with the students, UoPeople will continue to develop the details of the peer-based learning methodology. This model is based on the combination of, collaborative learning and information technologies (Internet resources) which taken together create an affordable possibility to provide universal access to quality higher education.
