Program Content Development
Each of 360’s courses include clearly written performance objectives that are developed from the identified needs of the targeted audience. The continuing education courses for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) are developed based on this targeted audience. In addition, our courses are developed in conjunction with SMEs in their respective fields. The performance objectives that include the framework and content of the course provide a clear and concise expectation of what the learners will accomplish and be able to demonstrate upon successful completion of the course.
Within the last few years, 360 started using Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain to create performance learning objectives for each course that are specific and measurable. Thus, 360 provides a clear statement of the behaviors we expect learners to demonstrate as a result of taking our courses. Moreover, the performance objectives provide a basis of course assessment.
The 360 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) programs are delivered online. Most courses are developed as a 100% online course. Other courses are a downloadable pdf version of the course with an online exam. 360’s courses are designed for the optimum mastery of the material. The courses have engaging interactive elements including pre-assessment and diagnostic quizzes, voice guided animations/tracks and a final exam. These interactive elements are delivered in a linear format that promotes content mastery and reinforced learning. Our online presentation was developed within our instructional design template to ensure the methods were appropriate for learners at all levels.
360 evaluates each program as a whole by analyzing the results of the learners’ attainment of the learning outcomes. 360 examines the needs assessment, logistical and instructional planning and execution, operations and achievement level of learning outcomes. These evaluations and examinations allow 360 to make continuous improvements in the course offerings. Moreover, 360 privately contracts with SMEs and/or instructors to evaluate the courses prior to the approval of the course or course availability.
