Course Formats

A modality is the way a course is delivered. Traditionally, many courses have been delivered in an in-person format. With recent advances in technology, several new online course modalities are available:

Online ANYTIME courses are delivered 100% online, with no required face-to-face sessions or scheduled virtual class times. Classes are taught entirely online following instructor timelines and learning outcomes. Students learn content through videos, and materials posted by the instructor. Interaction takes place through discussion boards and written messages. All assignments are submitted online. Exams and orientations can all be completed virtually in this modality. Instructors may schedule optional synchronous study sessions, as necessary.

Online LIVE courses are delivered 100% online using “real-time” synchronous sessions (specifically scheduled virtual class times for online interaction between the instructor and/or the class). Class meeting times are designated in the schedule. Exams and orientations can all be completed virtually in this modality. Online LIVE classes allow for engagement in a remote classroom such as Zoom, WebEx, or Blackboard Collaborate.

Blended classes consist of both on-campus face-to-face meetings and online instruction. The amount of time spent on campus is less than a traditional face-to-face class and the remaining amount of time for the course is completed in an online asynchronous environment. Instructors may schedule optional synchronous study sessions, as necessary.

Flex Learning classes allow students to choose how they engage in class depending on what works best for them on any given day. Students may move in and out of the offered modes based on learning preferences and/or their life circumstances. Courses will be designated with an ‘X’ (ex. PHY121-X01) in the course schedule and the format choices offered for that class will be visible in the Section Comments/Course Description. There are four types of Flex Learning classes offered:

In-person and Online LIVE
While the instructor is in person, students can engage in class in one of two ways: in person or online live (synchronously).

In-person and Online ANYTIME
While the instructor is in person, students can engage in class in one of two ways: in person or online ANYTIME (asynchronously).

Online LIVE and Online ANYTIME
While the instructor schedules online LIVE classes, students can choose whether to attend each class live or participate in equivalent online anytime work.

In-person and Online LIVE and Online ANYTIME
While the instructor is in person, students can engage in class in one of three ways: in person, online LIVE (synchronously), or online ANYTIME (asynchronously).
