Created in a Blended Learning model the subject uses the classroom (interactive workshop) time for activities that benefit the most from direct interaction and videotaped lectures ahead of time so you can watch in your own time, place, path or pace. The workshop facilitator places an emphasis on empowering you with the skills and knowledge required to make the most of the online material and independent study time, guiding you toward the most meaningful experience possible.
