08-06-2012 11:08 National Louis University's Multi-Tiered Online Initiative seeks to reduce costs, increase academic supports and promote engaged learning by creating a highly stream-lined core, general education curriculum linked to self-paced modules aligned to credit-bearing, proficiency-based assessments. The Multi-Tiered Online Initiative will leverage open-source material, prior learning assessment, and use a scenario-based curricular approach for program-specific learning. All learning pathways will lead to one of three degree programs which have strong employability rates upon graduation. Learning will take place within the Self-paced Progressive Intervention Framework which is a system of response embedded into assessments alerting coaches when a learner needs support. This framework will enable students with diverse skill sets/knowledge to progress through modules and assessments simultaneously while receiving support tailored to his or her specific needs and time frame. When a student is no longer able to study independently, they will be able to "opt in" to an instructor-led, online course in order to complete their degree.
