eLearning

What is eLearning?  eLearning is a term used to refer to computer enhanced learning delivered over the internet.  It includes both the technologies and coursework that support and enhance your learning experience.  NAIT elearning courses are:

• Paced.  Each course has a specific start and end date, and has structured due dates for assisgnments and activities.
• Flexible.  eLearning allows you asynchronous access to content, activities, and most assessments during the course.
• Interactive.  BBA and BTech courses have a high level of instructor-student and student-student interaction.
• Rigorous.  eLearning courses are just as challenging and rigorous as the traditional face-to-face delivery of the same course...and just as rewarding. 
• Diverse.  Individual and collaborative (group work) assignments and assessments are utilized.
• Varied.  Different modes of synchronous and asynchronous are used to deliver content and activities including webinars, video, audio, text, and interactive multi-media.

NAIT’s eLearning courses reflect our institution’s current education philosophy.  This mode of delivery will allow you, as an online student, to experience an activity-based learning environment that is delivered and supported by our facilitator.  This approach embeds best practices in online course delivery and contributes to online student success.

NAIT currently uses MOODLE 2.0 as our asynchronous Learning Management System to deliver baccalaureate courses.  Using your MyNAIT Portal login, you will be able to access your courses on their start dates at http://moodle.nait.ca/ from virtually anywhere in the world.
