Online Learning at MCNY

How Online Learning Works at MCNY

MCNY's Online Learning Program was created to meet the needs of busy professionals who require flexible learning options. The courses we've created are a result of extensive research into effective teaching techniques and our experience as educators we try to make our approach student-centered:

All you need is a computer and access to the Internet. If you do not have a computer or Internet access, you can use any of MCNY's Computer Learning Centers, conveniently located in lower Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. Many public libraries also have computers available for use. In addition, throughout the metropolitan area there are numerous "cybercafes" and computer facilities that allow users to "rent" time online.

Some of our courses are taught entirely online and for others you will be required to log-on one session per week at a set time and this will be your virtual classroom where you will share information with the professor and fellow students in “real time.” The rest of your coursework can be completed on your own schedule; you will have access to lectures and assignments and can review these offline at your convenience. In addition, you'll have access to online research libraries and services.

FAQs

Q: What is an online learning course and how is it different from a traditional course?

You may also have “virtual classroom” sessions and online chat in which you take a class at a particular time over the Internet.

A: Not yet. But we have plans to create degree programs available entirely online soon.
