Course Definitions


Hybrid

Courses that combine the flexibility of online learning with the in-class meetings of a traditional classroom environment. Class time is divided between classroom and online work giving students the convenience of taking a course with a reduced on-campus time commitment.

Hybrid courses are ideal for the working or busy student who has some knowledge of the internet but still desires the face-to-face instructor/student interaction provided by a traditional classroom setting.

Online

Class content is delivered entirely online. Students should have independent access to the internet.

Online courses are ideal for working or busy students who has knowledge of the internet and can work independently without face-to-face interactions with the instructor or other students.

Resource

Classes where the instructor puts course documents online for students to reference are called Resource courses. Documents such as the course syllabus, schedule, handouts, outlines, current grades, etc. are included in this type of course. This course usually does not require a student to perform class activities online.
