Responding to the needs of today's students The Newman Idea has launched IKONline
 

                                                                             
IKON courses are taught live in a synchronous online format!

Most universities have moved online in the wake of the new social norms.  The Newman Idea was ready to make this transition, and our supporters helped us get there! 

A little background: In 2016 Dr. David Delio and Dr. Joshua Brumfield successfully launched a fully synchronous online Master's degree at the University of Holy Cross.  We championed the use of Zoom and other technologies and truly learned how to create a great virtual culture.  We also pioneered a unique adaptation in-class and virtual learning in which a small group of students could be in class and while others are fully interacting live via Zoom or some other social platform.  

• Our virtual/hybrid format meets the needs of the moment, especially to allow for social distancing and interacting virtually.

We have now added another innovation to IKONline: instructional teams.  Our classes now feature 2-3 professors discussing and sharing different perspectives with students, and providing the ability to mentor them one on one.

IKONline enables us to continue helping students to integrate their faith with their courses, majors and their future careers. We've developed a strong sense of community with the Tulane students in IKON NOLA and are excited to continue our classes with them.

• We are reaching students across the country and will be teaching a fall course "Work and Holiness" in which students from anywhere can join.  The course will meet T/Th from 4:30-5:45pm CST on Zoom.  Details on the course and a registration form are HERE.
