Types of Distance Learning Courses

Online Course: An internet/online course is asynchronous, meaning the instructor and student are not interacting in "real" time and therefore online courses do not meet on campus. Instruction is delivered 100% online. Online courses use Blackboard, the Internet, email, and other media to deliver instruction of course content and provide meaningful learning and engagement experiences. Students need access to a reliable computer with Internet access. Students are required to submit academic work by 11:59 pm on the census date to remain enrolled in the course.

Hybrid Course: Hybrid courses are synchronous and asynchronous with more than 50% taught online and less than 50% of the class will be taught on-campus. Hybrid courses use Blackboard, the Internet, email, and other media to deliver instruction of course content and provide meaningful learning and engagement experiences. Students need access to a reliable computer with Internet access and the availability to attend scheduled class sessions. Students are required to either attend a scheduled class session or submit academic work by 11:59 pm on the census date to remain enrolled in the course.
