Instruction Modes Table

Hybrid In Person/Online and/or In Person/Remote (HY)

Description

Taught using a combination of in-person learning (same meeting patterns for all enrolled students) with online and/or remote coursework. Hybrid classes are taught simultaneously with some students attending in person and others attending remotely for every class session, with the instructor in the classroom or taught in person at least one in-person class session per week with the other instruction delivered remotely or online, following the same pattern from week to week.

Objective

To replace a significant percentage of face-to-face instruction with online activities (OLC 2015).

Content Delivery

A combination of synchronous and asynchronous

Courses follow a set schedule, with required on-campus meetings

Designed specifically for web-based delivery and interaction, without requiring access to campus or participation in scheduled activities
