CyberSem, the online Jewish religious seminary for women, announced the launch of registration. Classes will begin the week of October 30.
Chavi Goldberg, CyberSem’s founder and primary inspiration, has extensive experience in education and conducted more than two-years worth of research in the many platforms for E-learning and built the world class seminary program to help bring post-secondary education to women, mothers and working women for whom a traditional education environment might not feasible. Geared towards those who have not had the opportunity to attend seminary, or who want to continue their understanding and appreciation for Judaism, CyberSem offers accredited courses that allow the flexibility to learn while managing daily aspects of their lives with the ability to earn a B.A degree. Registration is ongoing now at www.cybersem.com.
Each course is taught by renowned experts with a passion for engaging students in Torah study using dynamic instructional materials. Completing weekly assignments and working on projects collaboratively with other women, students receive one-on-one feedback and assessments from instructors in our secure online environment.
E-Learning platforms have been around for about (ten) years, and educational facilities such as Harvard, University of Phoenix (add more), have paved the way for exceptional programming, and Goldberg looked to t he same cutting-edge platform – instructure.com – used by Ivy League schools when building CyberSem. The teachers are experienced in fields such as Torah, Tanach, Talmud and Practical Jewish Law, and are prepared for the online format.
“We looked at Jewish life and religious learning, and followed the trends in physical seminaries before we chose coursework. Our platform and curriculum will convey the best and most practical lessons and courses to enable our students to get the same study experience of a traditional classroom,” Chavie Goldberg said.
Goldberg said, “We offer challenging, relevant and inspirational courses in Jewish scripture, history and laws, and help them with professional development and personal growth.”
