Virtual Classroom is similar to the distance learning offered by many top-notch universities: faculty-led, interactive learning experiences that offer you the opportunity to collaborate with an expert instructor and peers online. Best of all, they’re packed with resources and best practices that will immediately impact your work.  Incorporating collaborative technology such as online discussion forums, chat, wikis, and live web conferencing, Virtual Classroom delivers a comprehensive professional development experience, while allowing learners to save valuable time and travel dollars.

The benefits of faculty-led Virtual Classroom learning include:

  • The ability to communicate with and learn from both faculty and fellow learners.
  • Content is delivered in weekly lessons, with deadlines that allow you to learn according to your schedule.
  • You don’t have to put your work and personal life on hold to get the training you need.
  • Feedback and instruction specific to the context of your community development challenges.
  • Access to course materials online following the completion of the course, including resources that can be downloaded, saved and printed.
  • You’ll save your time and your organization’s valuable travel dollars while still benefiting from a high-quality NeighborWorks learning experience.

All you’ll need is a computer and internet connection to take advantage of this reasonably priced and highly effective professional development opportunity!
