STENBERG COLLEGE IS OPEN ONLINE

As with all colleges and universities in B.C., Stenberg College is following COVID-19 protocols and has transitioned all in-class programs to online until students, faculty and staff can safely return to the classroom. To learn online, all you need is a computer, an Internet connection and a desire to learn. We have been providing online education since 2006 and are well equipped to deliver quality education in this format.

What does online look like?

The curriculum offered online is the exact same as the curriculum offered in-class. Classes are delivered in a highly structured, instructor-led, and supported environment.
You will have weekly deliverables, which may include virtual classes, assigned readings, lectures, engaging resources and activities, discussion forums and online assessments.
Your instructors will be there for you! They will be available by email, through group discussions, and in your virtual classroom sessions.
Faculty, staff and Student Success Coordinators are committed to your success and will help you stay on track.
Your commitment and dedication are required. On average, students spend 20 hours/week attending virtual classes online, plus an additional 10-15 hours/week doing coursework and completing homework.
Collaboration and group work will be completed entirely online. In your virtual classroom, you will make friends, support and collaborate with classmates, and learn and grow together.

Our online learning is delivered in Moodle, a browser-based learning platform used by most colleges and universities in North America, and through Blackboard Collaborate, a virtual classroom environment. Program Advisors and staff are working offsite and are available to answer your questions and assist you during this period. We hope to see you in our virtual classroom!

Front Cover of Book - Program Plans for Older Adults

Therapeutic Recreation addresses the whole person, focusing on their social, physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual domains. As defined by Iso-Ahola (1980), “therapeutic recreation is purposeful intervention designed to improve the client’s quality of life through recreation and leisure.” The programs and leisure activities that Therapeutic Recreation Assistants design are evidence-based and outcome-focused. Most importantly, they are person-centred.

Each of the program plans in A Therapeutic Recreation Assistant’s Guide: Program Plans for Older Adults was developed by a Stenberg College student as part of their coursework. They are excellent examples of evidence-based, outcome-focused and person-centred programming. These program plans represent the quality education Stenberg College Therapeutic Recreation Assistant students receive while attending school.
