This course is offered at any time during the year
however, you must request permission from the ITSC
Program Director to register for this course. After
permission is granted, you can then register for this
course and this course will end 12 weeks after the date
of registration. Also, you can register for this course
as many times as necessary in order to fulfill your
continuous enrollment commitment when opting to work
independently to create and/or submit products to your
ITSC web-based portfolio.
The first time that you register for an Independent
Study, you will be required to complete Competency Set
ONE - Setting up the ITSC web-based portfolio which
includes Area 1 - Media competencies 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 13
& 15, if you have not already completed this task.
Also, you are required to set up your portfolio before
you register for INSYS 461 and INSYS 462. However,
you may elect to set up your portfolio immediately prior
to beginning INSYS 462 and INSYS 461 and without
necessarily registering for an Independent Study. And you
will identify your plan to setup your portfolio within
the admissions application.
By enrolling in INSYS 496, you are stating that you
wish to work independently to create products for
specific ITSC competencies rather than enroll in a
structured World Campus course (INSYS 400, 446, 448, or
449). Furthermore, you elected to work independently
because you are confident that you already possess the
related content knowledge, skills, and abilities
necessary in order to demonstrate the competencies that
you identify and contract to complete within the twelve
weeks while registered for INSYS 496.
While enrolled in INSYS 496, you are provided with the
opportunity to independently create products, add these
products in your evolving ITSC web-based portfolio,
request that the ITSC Program Director review the
products that you created, and receive product-related
feedback. The subset of products that you identify and
commit to create and complete while enrolled in an
Independent Study become eligible for review and feedback
at the end of the course.
The following is a list of six different sets of
ITSC competencies that are not addressed in the required
courses. Each competency set contains a manageable
sub set of ITSC competencies that can be completed within
a 12-week time period and for three credits. When
electing to register for INSYS 496, you will first, be
required to identify a competency set that you will
commit to complete in 12 weeks before you will be
permitted to register.
