This week blended classes started at ATS. Since quarantine started, ATS has sought out ways to keep discipleship and learning moving forward. Lots of different ideas have been discussed and debated (quite passionately at times).
After much prayer, ATS is using a blended model. Students will come to ATS for two weeks. In these two weeks, they will be in mentorship, accountability, and attend chapel. In addition, they will be introduced to four courses, the ATS on-line learning mangement system and pick up text books. After these two weeks they will return home for seven weeks of on-line/distance learning.
When the seven weeks are complete, they will return to ATS for more mentorship and accountability along with wrapping up lose ends for the courses and taking finals. The field assignment (a practical ministry application of what was taught in the course) remains a key component.
A few of my USA based colleagues and I are doing our course introductions via Zoom.
Please pray for this new endeavor.
