3 3 Introduction to elearning for Instructors CSP elearning has been implemented in order to enable students to complete a significant amount of the lecture style learning remotely, in the comfort of their own home or local library, etc. This also ensures that more focus is put on practical learning and moves away from lecture and PowerPoint classroom learning. The self-guided modular learning is thorough and easy to follow. Students will make their way through the curriculum working with the in-class schedule, prepping for each class with a quiz at the end of each section.
