Any time. Any place. Anyone. By Ashley Davis, Marketing Services Get the education you want, from anywhere in the world, on a schedule that suits your life. The benefits of an online education are plenty: flexibility, convenience, joining a global community, and that’s just to name a few. Online learning allows for the opportunity to plan study time around the rest of your day. At Continuing Studies at UVic, you can study and work at your own convenience, within a flexible —and at times, self-paced—learning format. Course materials are always accessible online, 24 hours a day, so you can complete your learning at a time that suits you. And then there’s something to be said for location. How does it go again? Oh right, “location, location, location”—imagine rolling out of bed to be only steps from your morning class, or finishing your dinner and taking your laptop out to your balcony for a class session outside. Studying from the comfort of your own home has its perks! How does it go again? [...] Location, location, location. Continuing Studies offers a variety of courses and programs online, from one-off personal interest courses, to small grouped courses within a series, as well as multi-year programs and professional development training. With relevant and timely topics—this term, ranging from a history on pandemics, global poverty and immigration, to understanding the climate and how to overcome adversity— there’s many directions to go. ANY TIME. ANY PLACE. ANYONE. 30
You'll become a part of a community as you connect with other learners. The online learning environment at Continuing Studies is student-centered. With three course delivery styles, there are different options available to suit your needs—you can learn with other students at the same time, learn outside of the constraints of time and place, or learn using a combination of both styles. You’ll become a part of a community as you connect with other learners in live online discussions and by using chat forums, and you’ll exchange ideas and dialog without having to travel to a common meeting place. Students come from across Canada and the world. With the ability to log on from anywhere, class discussions can feature a broad range of global perspectives, helping you to enhance your own cross-cultural understanding—which in today’s world has never been more relevant. Even before the pandemic, businesses could see the importance of getting an education online, as it allowed employees to gain new skills while continuing to work. Whether you need to build on your current skillset or you’re starting afresh, preparing yourself for what the future may bring is crucial. Online learning can help facilitate the ability to think critically, manage time and self discipline. Mastering these skills not only makes you more valuable to employers, but challenges you to think differently, helping you to overcome obstacles that life may throw your way. As an online learner at Continuing Studies, you’ll be supported by friendly staff and real-time services. And remember, you’re in charge: you control the interactions and you choose when to study—so you can be sure that you're feeling your best. ANY TIME. ANY PLACE. ANYONE. 31

W e awoke to a new world in spring 2020. A new viral strain caused the World Health Organization to declare a pandemic. Suddenly aspects of our lives changed—our professional lives changed, our personal lives changed, and our educational lives changed. When Tania Muir, director of Cultural Management Programs, reflects on the attitude around the Division of Continuing Studies (DCS) at the time, she explains that the “immediate concern was for the health and well- being of the learners, instructors and staff in our unit who would be impacted.” As a division that encourages lifelong learning, the past few months have allowed instructors and staff to step up and continue their own lifelong learning journey—a journey that has seen them acquire new skills in telecommuting and learning the latest technologies. Tania maintains,“We have needed to find new ways of working, new ways of staying connected, and new ways of looking at education.” Online learning is a new concept to many of the division’s students and instructors; but fortunately, with over 40 years of experience, it is not a new concept for DCS.“For our unit, most of our programming is predominately online,” says Laura Vizina, director of Health Sciences and Public Relations Programs.“My goal was to remain calm and ensure our online programming would continue without a disruption.”Continued online courses have provided a sense of stability to students and staff during this unprecedented time. “We had to very quickly establish how to transition traditionally in-person courses online,”notes Miranda Angus, director of Arts, Science, Education and Technology. Instructors needed training“to not only use the technology to support teaching online, but [in] how to deliver the material they had originally prepared for a face- to-face environment”—a transition which was accomplished through the resilience of all parties involved. The pandemic has allowed learners to access courses they might not have been able to in our previous way of delivering. —Miranda Angus, Director, Arts, Science, Education and Technology 37 continuingstudies.uvic.ca • 250-472-4747
At the division, the staff’s job is to plan, says Miranda. “The example, we’ve had great feedback from community members biggest challenge in the earliest days was just not knowing who are so happy to see our World Language courses of Spanish, with certainty what was going to happen next. This is the first Italian and Dutch transition online. We’ve already received time we’ve been in this situation, so we’ve had nothing to requests that when we are able to offer more face-to-face base immediate plans on, which was incredibly stressful. ”The programming, [that] we continue to run these courses online.” immediate response was crisis management. Students needed to be well supported during this transition into the new normal; The division is very proud of its indirect connection to Provincial while at the same time, division planning was taking place for the Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.

Nigel’s expressive about doing what we did before, now remotely, but [it’s about] communication is so impactful as he actually embracing new opportunities using new technologies.” communicates not only the message, The silver lining is that this world situation we are in has provided but also the emotion and nuances an opportunity for DCS to connect with more students in behind the message through different ways. sign language. Enhancing the student experience is a strategic priority of DCS. Moving to an online platform while providing seamless, accessible and positive learning for students is a crucial part of the educational experience. Miranda believes that it is essential that students and partners are provided with exceptional service at the division. This difficult time has opened up future possibilities, she explains. “The pandemic has allowed learners to access courses they might not have been able to in our previous way of delivering— as an What we do is all about ( Certificate/diploma # Online thriving, not just surviving, in our changed world. —Richard Rush, Director, Program and Business Development 38
For Tania, “Nigel's ongoing presence has been a reminder of the importance of communication during these challenging times, and the need to not only provide information to our learners, but to also express the emotion that accompanies it.” Until you try online learning, you may not be able to imagine what to expect. DCS students who participated in online courses this past spring have been adaptable and receptive to the experience. Despite initial concerns about missed opportunities for personal interactions, networking and strong connections with their instructors, students have quickly adapted to the online learning environment. One student having said, “it was nice to be able to get together and meet everyone. It also made me think outside the box about how I could present to clients when we can’t meet face to face.” Students have commented on being pleasantly surprised by their experiences, including how dynamic the DCS course site was, the quality of interaction they experienced in the online environment, and the convenience and accessibility of learning in this new way. Like a true continuing educator, Laura reminds us that there are many lessons to be learned throughout 2020. “I am optimistic that we will take the time to learn from these times, grow as a learning institute, and be able to continue to innovate to support a diverse learning population.” Photo: Remembering the events that once filled the building. 39 continuingstudies.uvic.ca • 250-472-4747
