CITT will be moving exclusively to e-learning for all the courses in its Program of Study effective Aug. 1, in time for the fall registration period.
"CITT has offered an online learning course option for over a decade," said CITT president Catherine Viglas. "We've watched our audience actively choose this option over traditional correspondence for some time and CITT will now move exclusively to an online format."
CITT will adopt a hybrid learning concept for its online courses, which combines the best elements of online and traditional learning, according to officials.
"With hybrid learning, students will still receive a CITT textbook to assist them during their online studies," Viglas said. "Textbooks give students an additional level of comfort and flexibility."
CITT says the aim of switching to e-learning is to provide supply chain and logistics professionals with the flexibility they need to balance continuing education with their work and personal schedules.
However, CITT officials say that those who prefer to study in the classroom with one of CITT's academic partners will not be affected by the organization's move to e-learning.
"We will continue to offer CITT courses through our designated academic partners," Viglas said. "Our alliances with our academic partners remain as vital and productive as ever. The change to e-learning is simply directed at the audience that chooses distance learning."
