Distance Education

EVCC’s Course Management System (CMS) is Moodle. This integrated system creates a personalized learning environment for occupational therapy education, especially for the occupational therapy assistant. Moodle creates, manages assignments and communication between instructors and students.

Face-2- Face (F2F) course is in an environment where teaching and learning takes place in a physical environment with the instructor and student in the same place.

Synchronous distance education occurs when the instructor and students interact in different places but at the same time (Mandatory Zoom lectures 2-3 x a week)

Asynchronous distance education occurs when students go online [in Moodle] anytime day or night, 7 days a week to complete required weekly assignments.

Hybrid Asynchronous is any course that meets both online (as outlined in the course syllabus) and in a traditional classroom setting (OT LAB).

Online education occurs when most of the instruction is completed in the online environment (Moodle)

Computer technology is integrated throughout the OTA program.

• Both curricular options use online resources which requires that all OTA students have access to a computer that is internet and camera enabled.
• Students are required to research and access online information, therefore, computer literacy skills that use web browsers and other web applications are essential.
• Students should also have abilities/skills to create, edit, save, and retrieve documents and presentations
