The webWOC Nursing Education Program makes it easy for you to receive a complete education on your own time. Accelerated courses offer 8-wks of focused learning to complete one scope of practice. There are only 3 live classes in this course design, so flexibility for the learner is high with this option. The extended correspondence courses are self-paced. Learners can take up to one year to complete this course option. The traditional, full scope program requires 1-2 semesters to complete, depending upon the learner’s schedule. For advanced learners or experienced practitioners, a faculty guided independent study (FDIS) is available. Assessment and approval from a Program Director is required for admission into this course.

Live classes are conducted in webcasts and offered once or several times a month depending upon the course. Varied learning strategies are utilized in these courses to make online learning rigorous, relevant to practice, interactive and fun. Learners are immersed in learning environments that stress:

•	Case studies
•	Threaded discussions
•	Pocket Guide development Delete: Study games and guides
•	Required readings
•	Testing
•	Online tours to journals, manufacturer sites and simulations
