The LTP course will be composed of five parts: 

1. Advance reading, by the participant, of the course textbook, The Logical Thinking Process: A Systems Approach to Continuous Improvement. The whole book need not be read in advance, unlike the in-person workshops. Instead, participants can read the appropriate chapters just before completing the online visual presentation. 

2. Completing the online presentation. Unlike in the face-to-face workshops, participants can decide when they want to go through the visual presentation— night or day, weekdays or weekends. And they will be able to advance through the slides, back up and see a particular slide again (and hear the narration that goes with it), and, if they like, repeat the entire presentation a second or third time during the course. 

3. Practical exercises to be completed after the participant has done the required reading and watched the online presentations.

4. Practical experience constructing LTP logic trees. This is where individual responsibility and persistence is most important. After the block of instruction on each logic tree (steps 1, 2 and 3, above), participants will commence constructing each logic tree on their own. As in the face-to-face workshops, these trees will be built to address a systemic problem of the participant’s own choosing. The individual learner can use both manual pen-and-Post•it® notes and a software program designed to render logic trees. 

5. Personalized logic tree review and scrutiny. After constructing each logic tree, participants will schedule an online real-time meeting with the coaches. During the meeting, each participant will present their logic tree to the coaches one at a time until all five logic trees have been covered. We will offer constructive advice and reinforce the rules of logic in their tree construction.

The price for that flexibility is the responsibility and self-discipline of keeping yourself moving forward at the most expeditious pace you can until the online course is done. The LTP course will be partitioned into two major parts: the reading and learning presentations, and the practical experience in building trees.
