How do students in ICT maintain community in an online program?
The most important way we maintain community is to group students into cohorts that are moving through the curriculum at a similar pace, either a full-time pace or a half-time pace.
The cohort is a source of genuine community to the student, providing support, accountability and wisdom. In addition, students are expected to maintain close relationships in their own local environments through churches, friendships, and organizations of like-minded people.
Finally, students are mentored, supported and discipled in various ways throughout their time in ICT by ICT instructors and staff.
