Long distance information

KMCI will be offering what it says is the first distance learning knowledge management certificate program of its kind in the world. Based on its existing Certificate in Knowledge and Innovation Management (CKIM) program, the CKIM Online program will be aimed at KM professionals from around the world who are unable to attend KMCI’s face-to-face CKIM classes here in the U.S.

KMCI's CKIM Online program will feature both synchronous and asynchronous content, allowing students to attend live, interactive sessions with KMCI’s instructors on a weekly basis, as well as participate in threaded e-mail discussions between classes and throughout the program.

The online program will be offered at least twice yearly, once in the fall and again in the spring – more if demand requires. Each session will consist of 20 weekly modules, with each module consisting of a 75-minute live, synchronous class, followed by one-to-two weeks of follow-on group discussion via the asynchronous part of the program. The first session will be held in the fall of 2004.
