First Online M.Ed

The first cohort studying a new online Masters Degree in Education recently visited the College as part of their induction programme.  This new degree is a first for Ireland.  St. Patrick's College has adopted a blended approach to online teaching and learning and combines face-to-face orientation with live online sessions and the use of a virtual learning environment to scaffold the programme. Students from West Cork, Mayo, Donegal, London and elsewhere are now enjoying the ability to study for a degree from their homes and schools.  The inclusion of live internet based sessions eliminates the isolation and lack of peer contact that can sometimes mark online programmes.
