USI implements several modalities to deliver content and curriculum as no two programs are alike. From collegiate to commercial and CTE to math and science, implementation of USI curriculum and content looks very different. Utilizing rigorous and innovative delivery techniques ensures the learning objectives are delivered while meeting the needs of the learner and classroom. Modular design empowers the instructor to choose the pace, pedagogy, and news events to tie content to reality while maintaining rigor and curriculum learning objectives.

ONLINE

Utilizing modern day technology, USI coursework can be delivered utilizing video based meetings built into the coursework on the Learning Management System. This model allows for instructor facilitation and learner driven completion. USI utilizes this model for homeschool students and commercial learners.

HYBRID (ONLINE & IN PERSON)

For classrooms that meet a couple of days a week, the hybrid model presents an effective option. Much like the online model, the instructor facilitates the classroom and provides lectures while in the classroom and the learner completes the online coursework between sessions.

IN PERSON

This model is preferred by some as it is completely classroom driven. There is still an online component to the coursework including assessments, but incorporates more lecture based delivery of the content in the textbook as well as classroom discussions. Due to the length of some of USI's coursework, this is only an option for some of the shorter frameworks unless ample time exists for in person delivery.
