What's Possible...
 

If you are a Graduate student or instructor interested in Distance Education, through either Online or Off-Campus programs, then you are on the right page.  There are new courses being offered all the time and this site is currently being re-designed, so check back often to get the latest information.

Online courses are those that are taken in a distance mode using a computer. Off Campus courses are face to face courses offered by Field Centre campuses other than the Toronto St. George campus.

Online Courses
There are two conferencing platforms in use at OISE/UT.  One uses our First Class email/conferencing conferencing system, OISENet.   The second is called WebKF and it is the Web version of an online learning environment developed at OISE/UT.  Both of these systems are available in French and English.  For information on courses offered in French, look at the CREFO site (Centre de recherches en éducation franco-ontarienne).  Current course listings can be found at Le programme de maîtrise site.

At the present time, it is possible to obtain a complete M Ed in Curriculum via distance education through OISE/UT. Computer conferencing is the mode used for these courses. The  Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning is the only Department that offers enough courses to complete an entire program. There are also courses offered regularly by the following Departments, and which may be taken by CTL Distance Education students:
Department of Theory and Policy Studies (TPS) 
Sociology and Equity Studies (SESE)
Adult Education, Community Development and Applied Psychology (AECPAP)
The Distance Education Program requires the same registration procedures as any regular on-campus program: you have to apply to OISE/UT for admission and be accepted into a Department and Program. Once that is done you may register for any courses offered - through distance, on-campus (regular or summer session) or off-campus.

Doctoral programs (Ph D and Ed D) are not available solely by means of distance education. These programs still require a residency and enquiries concerning doctoral studies should be directed to appropriate Department. Registered doctoral students may take some distance education courses as part of their program, but this does not change the residency requirement.

Off-Campus Courses

Off-campus courses are conducted as face-to-face classes but at Centres away from Toronto. At present, off-campus courses are offered in Ontario at Durham, Kitchener, London, Orillia, Ottawa, Peterborough, Sudbury, and York Region. While most off-campus courses are offered during the regular fall and spring sessions, some Centres also offer summer session courses.
