Hi friends. As some of you know, I do a lot of teaching online. I have been a “distance education instructor” in a variety of forms for 16 years now. Continuing a series from earlier in the year, I want to highlight some of the places where I do my teaching. Here is a note about Regent College, an international Christian graduate school that is my alma mater, and where I teach a couple of Eugene Peterson’s courses on spiritual theology. Vancouver is a brilliant place to study, but difficult to access and expensive to live in. This year, many of Regent’s on-campus courses are online, so you have a unique opportunity to begin or continue your education at Regent in your own hometown. Below is the e-flyer that they sent to me (which you can access by clicking here); it focusses on Bible courses, but they have a whole host of different kinds of courses. If you are interested in applying, you can email me (junkola[at]gmail[dot]com) and I can have your application fee waived. You can also attend a sort of online ed orientation event for Regent on Dec 1st at 12pm Pacific/3pm Eastern (click here to register).
