Category Definitions for Primary Course Component

Lecture

A lecture is a face-to-face learning environment where students meet collectively as one group and may or may not have small group meeting times associated with it.

Seminar

A seminar is a face-to-face small group learning environment.

Laboratory

A laboratory is a learning environment held in a space that allows for specialized small group learning usually affiliated with specific technology and/or facilities.

Fully online; asynchronous

A fully online asynchronous course is a learning environment that is delivered remotely to individuals with access to the Internet. Although the course may have a set start date and set due dates for assignments, students can otherwise access and participate in the course at times and places of their own choosing. The online component is normally over 80% of the total delivery. A fully online course may include occasional face-to-face meetings, a proctored exam, etc. with the remainder of the content delivered online.

Fully online; synchronous

A fully online synchronous course is a conferencing learning environment that is delivered remotely through audio and/or video conferencing to provide simultaneous communications between an instructor at one site and students at other sites on a scheduled day and time. A course is considered to be offered via synchronous conferencing if 80% or more of the content is delivered in this way. A course may have occasional face-to-face meetings, a proctored exam, etc. with the remainder of the content delivered through audio and/or video conferencing.

Blended (Hybrid)

A blended (hybrid) course is a learning environment where face-to-face teaching time is reduced, but not eliminated, to allow students more time for online study. The online component is normally 50% to 80% of the total course delivery. A blended course may have components delivered via traditional face-to-face; however, at least half of the course delivery is online.
