Providing Rockbridge Seminary students with learning tips, ministry resources, and course upgrade news
Rockbridge Seminary is designed for learning IN COMMUNITY. Sure, an online correspondence school might be simpler, for you and for us. But that would miss the richness of Kingdom insight and perspective gathered from fellow students who represent a vast geographical, cultural, and ethnic diversity. Learning bubbles have a way of making us think that our way of ministry is the only way and the best way. Learning in community broadens our understanding of what God is up to in the world.
Understandably, the virtual classroom provided by Rockbridge Seminary is designed to support learning IN COMMUNITY rather than learning by correspondence.
Several terms back, a student observed on a course evaluation that downloadable files of lectures provided at the end of each unit sometimes lacked features provided in those same files when they were embedded into the course pages. Reading this, I realized the need to clarify: the files at the end of the unit are provided only as a service to students and are NOT meant to be used as a substitute for engaging the learning provided on every single course page.
By the May 2009 Term, every course will carry the following statement where files are provided at the end of a unit:
Do not use downloaded files as a substitute for reviewing any and all online classroom course content. Downloaded files often do not have working links and other features embedded into the online classroom version. These downloadable files are provided to students as a service only.
