The School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design offers students a range of online learning opportunities as we’ve been a leader in e-Learning for the past decade. Currently, due to the pandemic, we are augmenting our award-winning e-Learning courses with remote delivery of what would be, in other times, in-person classes. While we await a change in public health circumstances allowing us to return to the studios and classrooms at York, we are confident that your on-line experience will be rich and rewarding wherever you are.

We have always embraced technology-enriched environments in AMPD. Our studios and venues are among the most sophisticated and well-equipped in North America. That commitment to providing the best and most up-to-date facilities extends beyond place-based classrooms, and into digital learning environments.

AMPD students will find themselves in a supportive virtual ecosystem that extends beyond the classroom to include individualized enrollment and advising, as well as peer mentoring and a broad range of student services.

AMPD Remote Delivery Options

Currently there are three different course delivery options for the summer and fall of 2020 until we can return to campus in-person:

Online courses (ONLN) – These courses are specifically designed to be offered online and feature media-rich modules and a variety of teaching practices that provide a flexible, self-paced learning experience. AMPD has won awards for its sophisticated and engaging ONLN courses.

Blended courses (BLEN) – These courses are designed to be a mix of ONLN and in-person classes, during which some aspects of the course are taught ONLN and the rest are in-person in the studio, lab or tutorial room. While we observe coronavirus distancing guidelines, the in-person portion of BLEN courses will be delivered remotely using a variety of tools and resources, such as Zoom, with a designated long-distance class meeting day and time. The ONLN portion will be flexible and self-paced.

In person courses (LECT, TUTR, LAB, STDO) – These courses are designed to be offered in-person. While we observe coronavirus distancing guidelines, LECT, TUTR, LAB, STDO courses will be delivered remotely using a variety of tools and resources, such as Moodle and Zoom. These courses will have a modified class meeting day and time that syncs to when they would otherwise be offered in-person on campus.
