The full program takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Perspectives is asynchronous, so you can work at your own pace.

I'm interested in facilitating a Dialogue in Practice session.

I want to learn more about assigning Perspectives in my class.

COMING SOON

I want to assign Perspectives in my class or offer extra credit to students who complete it. How can I track student completion?

You can preview the lessons here. Students will receive an email confirmation when they complete the training, although the email is not immediate. Students should take a screenshot of their completed lessons or forward you the confirmation email to show that they have completed the lessons. If you would like to have access to their individual answers, please email cdi@owu.edu to request that you be added as an instructor. As of now, it is not possible to create a separate section of the course for your students.

Will the faculty/staff Perspectives training be different from the student training?

Perspectives essentially is a parallel three-hour virtual program for all audiences. The main difference is that the application scenarios will be targeted to faculty/staff and not students (e.g., an office issue versus a roommate issue). Both versions of Perspectives will use the same CDI approach.
