Format Definitions

Online

Courses offered asynchronously, mostly online, without any face-to-face meetings. Contact time is satisfied by several means, including instruction or interaction with a faculty member, interactive tutorials, discussions, and class projects that engage peers and are overseen by faculty.

Hybrid

Courses offered primarily in a blended format with one or more on-site face-to-face class sessions and at least one or more online sessions, both containing interaction with a faculty member.

Remote

Courses offered primarily via Zoom or similar technology with a pre-determined meeting pattern that contains direct interaction with a faculty member. Contact time is assessed using the in-person definition.
