Best Practices for Electronically Offered Degree and Certificate Programs (courtesy of NEASC)
The architecture of IDL Systems is designed to provide a wide range of flexibility to suit all needs in its courses.
Template For Each CollegeWorking in conjunction with each college we design a template for each web page which shows the college name and its logo(s). There is a one time cost which depends on the complexity of the artwork. Once created this template will show on every page of every course. You may have more than one template.
Concepts are the key elements which each student must master to master the course. The sequence of the concepts can be controlled by the college along with the grade level required on each quiz to pass on to the next concept.
The software makes use of a library of course modules. This allows the college to draw upon these modules to create new or specialized courses. The cost obviously will depend on the degree of changes or the cost of creating new modules. Your Academic Advisor will be pleased to help you in identifying your needs and options and in estimating the cost.
Creating your own courses is always an option. You may also want to combine your own courses or course modules with those available in the IDL library. Because much of the course conversion procedure is computerized, the cost can be surprisingly low. This gives you unparalleled flexibility at modest cost.
With IDL you can literally decide to launch a program or add on specialty courses to your college offering within a month or two. Worried that competition is exposing a gap in your offering programs, or that you need a specialty to round out your program, or perhaps you see a need to bring for remedial instruction to bring new applicants up to par - then talk to one of our experienced Academic Advisors. They will understand your needs and develop a timely solution.
