How
They Work:
Each AIB Instructor-Led Online Course is facilitated by an instructor
who guides the class through the course and provides feedback on your
assignments. Every week, your instructor posts a new assignment.
Assignments may include:
-
Reading a
chapter in your textbook or online
-
Completing a
short assignment and either sending the assignment via email to your
instructor or posting it on the electronic class Discussion Board
-
Taking a
self-check test to verify your understanding of the material
-
In addition,
you also will have some assignments where you collaborate with other
students using electronic discussion boards and e-mail. You
complete each assignment during the week, but at your convenience.
Exams and
Proctoring:
The semester-length courses last for 16 weeks, including a week
dedicated to the mid-term examination and the final examination. Exams
and the self-check quizzes for each assignment are taken over the
Internet and proctored by someone in your bank. Your overall grade for
the class will be based on a combination of your performance on the
weekly assignments, class participation, mid-term examination and the
final examination. Courses that are less than 16 weeks in length have at
least one graded measurement of learning, typically a final exam.
Many of these
16 week courses require a proctor for the midterm and final exam. You
will need to identify a person from your institution who will proctor
the exam for you. This person should be your Human Resources Training
Manager, supervisor, or someone from the management team of your
organization.
If you do not
work with an institution, you may want to contact a university/college, Library, or a
Testing Center close to you to proctor your exam. However, we should
have the telephone number of your proctor in case we need to reach that
person for verification. A relative cannot proctor the exam. All
participants must abide by the ABA/AIB exam policy.
There
are no exceptions.
