Complete diversity certification courses at any time, any day of the year. Start the journey with other participants, or start at your convenience. It is entirely your choice.
We implemented online learning for diversity certification decades ago. Initially, participants were required to attend weekly live, virtual sessions to complete each course. Increasingly participants asked to forgo the live meetings due to their hectic work schedules. They chose to complete the online modules without requiring live meeting participation. At some point, we decided to make the live virtual meetings optional.
The recent trend towards online learning, which accelerated with the onset of the pandemic-driven workplace, continues to trend upward. We accommodate those who wish to interact with peers and instructors with live, virtual opportunities. It is always tricky to schedule a time that everyone is available. We do our best by offering two weekly virtual meetings for each diversity certification course.
Virtual online diversity certification training can simulate live classroom discussions. The learning platform you and other participants can access is designed for online learning. It offers features that enable participants to learn from each other. The platform is insufficient alone. DELA course content has been designed and developed by expert distance learning experts. It is common for participants to learn from each other and develop collegial relationships.
There are two ways to attend each DELA diversity certification course. You can complete the modules for each course at your convenience or include attendance at weekly one-hour sessions in webinar format. DELA 100B, for example, has ten modules.
You decide how fast or slow you will go in meeting the requirement of one module completion each week. We know that life can get us out of rhythm occasionally, so request a few more days when that happens. Remember that our number one goal is to support you in completing each diversity certification course. We will coach you in making progress, and putting a time limit on course completion is one way to support you.
The other choice is to attend once a week live seminar. Yes, we do get together. The facilitator starts with a brief overview and mini-lecture, followed by a discussion. You have the opportunity to listen to what other participants share and make your own contributions.
Each level of the course is composed of 8 to 10 modules. You complete each module in sequential order. Each module has the following:
The facilitator grades coursework. The facilitator provides both feedback on the quality of the submission as well as professional development support. Once you have completed all coursework satisfactorily, you are done. Complete all online cultural diversity certification courses, meet the 78% minimum overall score, and you will receive your credentials.
Whether you go at it alone or attend the live sessions, you complete assignments based on the readings (handouts) and other learning materials. The assignments are read by the facilitator, who gives you feedback for professional development. You are also required to give other participants feedback as part of the learning experience. So, you are learning from each other even though you may not be online simultaneously. You have interaction without time constraints.
I learned a lot from the online course. What I really like as a graduate is that I have the course manual as a resource. And as a We Can Do This member, I can access any online lessons to refresh my memory at any time. That has really helped.
