About 2U Inc.
The Yale School of Medicine began collaborating with 2U, Inc. to support Yale PA Online, in 2015. 2U provides support in the following ways:
Technology Support
Curriculum Delivery
In preparation for live class discussions, students watch content created by Yale PA Online faculty in collaboration with 2U. Together, Yale professors and the 2U team develop a delivery method that is custom-made for the hybrid program, ensuring that all content takes advantage of the latest available technologies.
Course content is not simply a series of recorded lectures but an interactive learning experience. Coursework includes video case studies, discussions between professors and students, faculty presentations, and interactive elements in which professors can see students’ progress and leave comments and feedback leading up to the live class sessions.
Student and Faculty Support
2U prepares faculty to deliver classes and course materials through the online platform so that they are best able to use the tools available in the virtual classroom. Dedicated support continues throughout the program, with technical support available during every live session. 2U assists in finding students’ clinical rotation sites across the country.
