On-campus learning: synchronous, in-person instruction delivered in an assigned socially-distanced classroom. The faculty member is in the classroom with students for the regularly scheduled days/times.
Remote learning: synchronous, remote classes meeting on the regularly scheduled days/times using either Blackboard Collaborate or Zoom.
Online learning: asynchronous learning, utilizing Blackboard Learn. Students receive lessons and assignments from the professor. Coursework must be completed within the individual professor’s timeline.
Hybrid learning: Combines on-campus and online learning. In-person instruction meets once a week in an assigned socially-distanced classroom. The online component uses Blackboard Learn.
