Distance learning offers students flexibility and helps them manage their time well while encouraging learning in a dynamic and personalized environment.
The Different Types of Courses
All courses offered at Saint Paul University have an online component via a learning management system named BrightSpace. However, in a few cases, the Adobe Connect platform may be used.
All electronic communications between professors and students happen via the @ustpaul.ca email system for professors and via the @uottawa.ca email system for students.
Four types of courses are offered at Saint Paul University:
In-class courses
This type of course is offered in the classroom, in the presence of the professor and the students.
Distance courses
This type of course is broadcast live (in synchronous mode) by the professor via the learning management system.
Students can log on to the course in real time (in synchronous mode) or view recordings of the classes (in asynchronous mode).
Even when some courses are at times given simultaneously in the classroom and remotely, a student registered in a distance course cannot attend in class. In the same way, a student registered in an in-class course must attend classes in person.
For students registered in a distance course, exams are done using the learning management system.
Online courses
This type of course is pre-recorded and offered only online, in asynchronous mode, via the learning management system.
It may sometimes happen that, within an online course, the professor requires live attendance (in synchronous mode) for one or several classes. However, this approach is rare and is always indicated in the course outline.
For students registered in an online course, assignments and exams are done using the learning management system.
Hybrid courses
This type of course combines two types of courses:
1) part of the course is offered as a distance course (sometimes necessarily in synchronous mode, and sometimes in synchronous or asynchronous mode) or online (in asynchronous mode);
2) the other part of the course is offered in the classroom (and is required) on pre-set dates, to do group work, to take part in discussions or for any other course component.
Depending on the professor, assignments and exams can be done during class in the classroom, remotely or online.
Courses are supported by a technical team that responds to the needs of students and professors.

Sommaire
Depuis les élections américaines de 2016, il est difficile d’identifier un sujet lié aux communications de masse qui ont fait couler plus d’encre que celui des fausses nouvelles (‘fake news’). Les acteurs politiques de toutes les idéologies confondues, les grands médias traditionnels, les grands propriétaires des médias sociaux ‘accusent mutuellement de propager des fausses nouvelles, et il est de plus en plus difficile de se retrouver dans toute cette cacophonie.
Pourtant loin d’être un phénomène récent, il est possible de dire que les fausses nouvelles sont une partie intégrante dans le parcours des grands médias et du journalisme au 20e siècle, et que de revenir sur ces racines historiques nous permet de mieux comprendre pourquoi les ‘fake news’ sont aussi efficaces aujourd’hui.
Objectifs
L’objectif premier de ce cours est de replacer les fausses nouvelles dans son contexte historique et politique. En l’occurrence, nous aborderont tout au long de la session l’émergence et le développement de ce phénomène sous l’angle de l’histoire des idées. À la fin du semestre, les étudiants-tes devraient être non seulement mieux équipés pour comprendre l’efficacité des fausses nouvelles d’un point de vue de la psychologie de masse, mais ils devraient également être aptes à rapidement dépister et déboulonner les mensonges qui y sont rapportés.
Le cours sera articulé autour de 3 grands thèmes : Les fondements historiques; l’instrumentalisation politique des fausses nouvelles et, finalement, les mécanismes de défense face aux fausses nouvelles. Pour chaque thème, les étudiants devront visionner les capsules vidéo qui lui sont associées, lire certains textes obligatoires accessibles sur le site et regarder d’autres archives vidéo qui permettront de pousser plus loin la réflexion.
THÈME A) : LES FONDEMENTS HISTORIQUES
THÈME B) : INSTRUMENTALISATION POLITIQUE DES FAUSSES NOUVELLES
THÈME C) : LES MÉCANISMES DE DÉFENSE
Charge de travail
Les dates spécifiques pour la remise des principales composantes de l’évaluation seront discutées lors de la deuxième séance :

Sommaire
Drawing on the work of contemporary bioethicists, this course explores common ethical challenges faced by healthcare providers in the clinical setting and the impact that such challenges have on the human subject. These challenges will be discussed from within a theological framework, particularly as seen through the lens of Bernard Lonergan's work on the role that feelings and bias play in the human person's desire for authenticity and self-transcendence.
Objectifs
1. To raise awareness of the complexity of some of the more controversial issues in clinical ethics.
2. To become familiar with a principle based framework for ethical decision making and the skills in analyzing ethical dilemmas.
3. To become aware of the role that feelings might play in the resolution of ethical issues.
4. To understand the impact that ethical challenges in the clinical setting have on the human subject's desire for authenticity and self-transcendence.
Charge de travail
Class Participation: 30%
Research Paper: 50% Choose a topic (a concrete issue) related to contemporary issues in medical bioethics and discuss the underlying concepts. Suggest a resolution to the issue using the principle based framework for ethical decision making.
Reflection Paper: 20% Final exam. A personal reflection to allow for an intellectual integration of the course materials and the impact of ethical decision making in health care on the human subject. (5-7 pages)

A Christian theology of revelation: Creation as a locus for revelation; reflection on how God has spoken in the history of Israel; fulfillment of revelation in Jesus Christ; impact of divine self-disclosure in shaping early Christian communities; faith as a human response to divine self-disclosure; implications for understanding the inspiration of Sacred Scripture and the meaning of Tradition; Christian revelation and other world religions.
Exploring the relationship between history and theology, methodologies of historical research. Survey of the historical evolution of Christianity from its beginnings to the end of the fifth century, with attention to early Christological debates.
The focus of this course is the enduring relationship between human experience and divine revelation within the Christian tradition. Beginning with God’s self-revelation in sacred scripture, we will explore the question of whether God self-reveals in other ways, such as art, music, poetry, and we will explore the human experience of such revelation through the framework of Christian theological aesthetics. Through key scholarly texts, religious artwork and music, we will explore the relationship between human experience and the god of the Christian faith. Examples will include ancient frescos found in early Christian churches, Church symbology and contemporary religious street art in Mexico. And we will listen to a variety of religiously inspired music such as Gregorian chants, Mozart, Native drumming, Kanye West, and U2.
Objectifs
Learning Outcomes for Students: to understand how aesthetic experience has shaped and continues to shape human understanding of the Christian god; to help students cultivate a differentiated awareness of how their spiritual life and aesthetic experience intersect; and to articulate their own perspectives in dialogue with the texts they read and material presented in class.
