Instruction Method Definitions
(In Use For Spring and Summer 2024)

In Person

A campus-based, fully in-person class with a scheduled room and meeting time.

Hybrid

A class blending synchronous in-person and asynchronous online modalities.

IVC Hybrid

A class with a mixture of in-person, and synchronous online interactive video modalities.

Interactive Video Conference (IVC)

A class with synchronous delivery using web video technology. The class has a scheduled meeting time, with Canvas as the class location providing learning materials and links to join the class video meetings.

Online

A class facilitated online, primarily through Canvas, with greater than 80% of the required  learning activities taking place asynchronously. An online class does not have required locations or meeting times; although, regular, substantive instructor/student interactions are an expected part of the teaching and learning process.

 

Updated Instruction Methods (Effective Fall 2024)

In-Person (P): 

Classes held physically on-campus, complemented by online resources. Coded in PeopleSoft as In-person and should not have reduced physical classroom time due to technology use.

Online (O): 

Classes are entirely remote, self-paced weekly, and do not include scheduled class meetings. Coded as Online in PeopleSoft, and may have optional real-time online activities.  Real-time activities should be listed with day/time/location in schedule.

Hybrid (H):

Classes combine in-person and remote elements, with some remote sessions possibly in real-time. These are supported fully by online resources and will be coded in PeopleSoft as Hybrid.  Any portion of the class that is time based should be listed with day/time/location in schedule.

Remote Real-Time (R):

Classes require scheduled online meetings via video conference with no in-person sessions.  Coded in People as Remote-Real Time. Class should list day/time with location of Canvas.
