How are courses taught through the AVC?

Through the use of both synchronous and asynchronous technology, the virtual college will allow students to learn new material on a weekly basis using multimedia (text, audio, and visual media) lessons, and also to confer with virtual teachers and classmates face-to-face during office hours and joint project preparation. In addition to weekly lessons, students will have access to automated study tools, games, assignments, course calendars, syllabi, quizzes, midterms, finals, project drop boxes, and grade books. Moreover, discussion forums, emails, live chat, audio and video communication options will provide students with the opportunity to better connect with their virtual teachers and classmates, while forging friendships with Armenians from across the globe.

Who teaches AVC courses?

The multimedia courses are authored by renowned topic experts from Armenia, reinforced by international pedagogic experts in online learning. The learners are supported by virtual teachers, who provide distance guidance, drive discussion forums, respond to student inquiries, and grade assignments, projects, midterms and finals.
