What is an online course?

iRecovery Works online courses are facilitated professional learning experiences delivered over the Internet, which means you can participate in iRecovery Works online courses from your office, school, or at home at a time that is most convenient for you.

How long does a course run?

Most iRecovery Works online courses are depending on the topic. Check the details for each individual course. 

Do I need to buy any additional resources or materials to participate?

For most courses everything is included.  Access to the On Demand Web seminars, classroom videos, in-depth readings, and guided activities are provided at no additional charge.  The clinical supervision course requires a text book called, "Clinical Supervision in Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselling" by David Powell.

Are there assignments?

Some courses have assignments, but all courses have a short exam at the end of each course.

How will I be graded?

All courses have a final exam attached to them.  While some courses have very speicific graded assignments in order to meet the criteria of the accreditating association.  Participants must submit all assigned activities to pass. Participants will be asked to post activities and reflections weekly. It is expected that participants post on time in order to prepare for subsequent learning.

Do I need to be online at certain times to participate?

Generally there will NOT be synchronous activities that you must be online at a certain time to participate in. You will have 24/7 access to the course software and can complete the activities and assignments at your convenience prior to the assignment due date. If any course facilitator plans a synchronous activity for participants, that information will be clearly stated in the course promotion materials and on the website.

I am not a classroom teacher. Would I still benefit from taking an online course?

All iRecovery Works online courses offer differentiated professional learning experiences and provide choices that acknowledge the many roles and needs we each bring to our school. Teachers, teacher leaders, literacy coaches, administrators, and staff development coordinators can all benefit from participation in iRecovery Works ’s online courses. You will be invited to examine multiple course resources and create materials specific to your daily work and role.

Can I earn continuing education credit with iRecovery Works ’s online courses?

All participants who pass an iRecovery Works online course will receive an e-mail that documents the minimum clock hours earned for participation. Check with your school administrator to determine if participation in an iRecovery Works online course will qualify towards your district's continuing education credit requirements.
