South African Theological Seminary Distance Learning
Distance learning can be defined as learning which takes place remotely, and in our case, online.
The concept of distance learning is a more individual learning experience, and depending on the way in which the courses are constructed, will determine how you interact with your fellow students and tutor.
Learning in this way is exciting, as in the process you learn new skills and grow in confidence in your ability to work in a completely different environment.
This is the way of the future now, so it is good to become familiar and completely comfortable interfacing with a computer to create a different “space” to work in. The space of course is the “virtual” learning space.
Some might say that the lack of interpersonal discussion is a disadvantage, but because we live in a world of creative technologists and educators, interpersonal discussion is very possible – it is just “different”.
SATS’ students have the opportunity to connect with fellow students and their tutors via the learning site and we have testimonies of students who have become friends, even though they live in different parts of the world.
There are fewer barriers to providing quality distance educators for online learning.
At SATS, we have a team of Christian educators who consistently design and create interesting, interactive, Christ-centred courses for people wanting not only to improve their knowledge of the Bible, but also to learn how to apply their learning into their local church or ministry context. The courses are designed to teach topics at various levels of learning so that you can retain and recall your knowledge whenever you need it.
Our library is available to our students wherever they may live and our courses are designed to include the reading material required for each course at no extra cost.
Generally students of all ages, cultures and genders who have transitioned from the printed book type of learning to the online, download and upload kind of learning now prefer learning this way.
Theology distance learning SATS way is cost-effective, convenient and provided in the comfort of your own home.
We welcome you to our virtual learning space and suggest you speak to one of our helpful administrators if you would like to discuss your theological, online studies in more detail.
