Virtual Instructional Methods
A great number of our courses have been converted to virtual instructional methods including:
- ONLN – Fully Online – A fully online class with flexible scheduling and an asynchronous learning environment where work can be done at any time 24/7 as long as students meet required due dates. Blackboard and/or a publisher platform are used for the delivery and organization of course materials. Students in an ONLN course need access to a reliable computer with internet connection.
- LRON – Live/Remote & Online Component – Fully online classes with specific virtual meeting days & times (i.e., synchronized) as well as asynchronous completion of learning activities and coursework using Blackboard and/or a publisher platform. Asynchronous learning means that course work can be completed at any time 24/7 as long as the student meets required due dates. Students enrolling in an LRON course need access to a reliable computer with internet connection, microphone, and web camera. Live instruction is conducted via a video conferencing platform; students should expect to turn their camera on and access their computer’s microphone during class meeting times.
- HYBR – Online and Classroom – Hybrid classes meet for half of the scheduled class time on campus and the remainder of the time is delivered in an asynchronous manner using Blackboard and/or a publisher platform. Asynchronous learning means that course work can be completed at any time 24/7 as long as the student meets required due dates. Students in an HYBR course need access to a reliable computer with internet connection. All social distancing guidelines, including mask wearing, will be followed for any class time that is held on campus. Students registering for a HYBR course will need to be prepared to transition to a fully online format if the need arises at any point in time.
Classes that are being held on campus will operate as follows:
- TRAD – Classroom – Traditional classes that meet on campus scheduled days and times. Some coursework may be delivered using Blackboard and/or a publisher platform. Students enrolling in a TRAD course need access to a reliable computer with internet connection. All social distancing guidelines, including mask wearing, will be followed for any class time that is held on campus. Students registering for a TRAD course will need to be prepared to transition to a fully online format if the need arises at any point in time.
