You'll notice that things look a little different in your printed Fall schedule of classes.
Changes have been made in an effort to better inform you of what the requirement are for certain courses. We hope this will make your course planning easier.
Here's what these new definitions mean:
- Online Course: All of the course content is delivered online. Course orientation, assignments, presentations, learning activities, interactive quizzes, and tests are online. Instructors use e-mail, homepages, and course management tools. Online courses require students to have access to a computer. Additionally students may be required to have access to a web browser and purchase software. (100% online and carries the online course fee.)
- Blended Online Course: The majority of the course content is delivered via the Internet. However, blended learning courses require on-campus sessions for orientations, presentations, exams, labs, and/or other assessment activities with an instructor or in a proctored setting. The number of face-to-face sessions will vary depending on course requirements. Blended online courses require students to have access to a computer. Additionally students may be required to have access to a web browser and purchase software. (Majority of content delivered online with required face-to-face meetings and carries the online course fee.)
- Hybrid Course: A “hybrid” course combines both face-to-face classroom instruction and online internet-based learning. 50% of the time is in the classroom and 50% of the time students work independently on their own computers. For example, in courses where students typically meet face-to-face two days a week, hybrid courses may meet in the classroom once a week and the remaining course time is spent in an online classroom environment. Hybrid courses require students to have access to a computer. (50% online, 50% face-to-face and does not carry the online course fee.)
- Video Course: Course presentations are delivered via DVD or videotape. (100% online/DVD and carries the online course fee.)
