EASI recognizes the need to provide training for faculty and staff who are
not professionals in technology. WE pride ourselves in making technology
non-technical and making online learning an interaction between instructor
and learner. We believe technology should empower humans and should not
dehumanize.
All courses are delivered using a mix of Web content and personal
discussion using listserv e-mail. The courses are almost entirely
asynchronous, learning any time and anywhere. Most courses also give an
optional opportunity for a synchronous voice chat.
