About
the Courseware
Online
courses at KSI are delivered to students through comprehensive
courseware which includes written course lecture material presented
on the web with streaming video content.
Each
KSI course has a multi-faceted website which contains written,
graphic and streaming video materials for each lecture. The streaming
video component of each lecture includes a combination of video
taken of professors during lectures and videos created by the
professor using software which captures computer monitor movements
combined with voice audio.
Students have access to help-desk and technical support via email
and direct access to professors via email and telephone as well
as personal service from the KSI administrative staff.
Students have secure, password-only access to courses and course
materials and confidential exchange of coursework and grading.
