Northwind offers a new style of online learning: Guided Education
When most people think of seminary courses, they envision a professor standing at the front of a classroom, giving lectures and facilitating discussions. While this can be an effective method of teaching, it is not the only way. At Northwind Theological Seminary, courses are designed to be taken by individual students anywhere with wifi, at their own pace, on any device they choose.
Northwind's teaching philosophy is called Guided Education, which is based on Competency-Based Theological Education. Faculty mentors vet resources, organize learning, and guide students through Video-Lecture Courses, Tutorial Courses, and Oxford-Style Courses, allowing students to learn in a way that works best for them.
