iWednesday

iWednesday is a unique opportunity offered to Cumberland University students. Traditional in-seat classes are not held on Wednesdays for many of the University’s course offerings. In special instances when a course may require more intensive one-on-one support, as with lab courses, traditional classes may still meet on Wednesdays (at the discretion of the course instructor). To compensate for the instructional hour lost by eliminating a day from the traditional Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule, one-third of these three-credit-hour courses is delivered online. The University utilizes the extensive electronic course management systems offered through CAMS Enterprise and Blackboard Vista. Every student receives appropriate training in the use of these systems by the University’s Information Technology staff and/or course instructors. Students meet electronically and manage course assignments through these systems. Cumberland University faculty members are available for mentoring sessions, additional course assistance, and advising students.
