Category Definitions for Primary Course Component

Lecture
A large or small group educational talk delivered to students.

Seminar
A seminar is a small-group learning activity that allows for the discussion and application of course concepts.

Laboratory

Observe, test and apply course concepts in a controlled setting specialized for small-group learning (typically affiliated with specific technology and/or facilities).

Field Course

Exploring academic content in a purposeful way outside the classroom through field trips and/or field-work within Canada. An in-class component may be scheduled on campus in advance of, and/or following, the field experience.

International Field Experience

Exploring academic content in a purposeful way outside the classroom through short-term field trips and/or field -work outside of Canada. An in-class component may be scheduled on campus in advance of, and/or following, the field experience.

Internship
Participation in discipline-specific, supervised, full-time work during the study period. A set number of hours/days/weeks may be required to be completed by the student. An internship supervisor (within the student's unit of study) as well as a workplace supervisor will typically be involved to lead the student through this learning experience.

Practicum (Clinic)

Supervised, practice-based experience in employment related to the field of study.

Project

Develop and complete a project as an independent study working individually or in small groups with a faculty member(s).

Asynchronous Online (no time slot required)
Schedule: Fully Asynchronous | Location: Fully Online | Exam: Fully Online

A fully online asynchronous course is delivered to learners via the Internet and does not require real-time communications. Asynchronous online courses have no required on-campus components, including assessments. The course will have a set start and finish date and set due dates for assessments (possibly including a scheduled final exam delivered online).

Synchronous Online (time slot required)
Schedule: Fully Synchronous | Location: Fully Online | Exam: Fully Online

A fully synchronous online course is delivered through web or video conferencing to facilitate real-time communications between the instructor at one site and students at a site of their choosing. These classes have regularly scheduled meeting times throughout the semester where students are expected to attend.

Blended - Online Mixed (time slot required)
Schedule: Both Synchronous and Asynchronous | Exam: Fully Online

A blended online course includes both asynchronous and synchronous elements delivered fully in an online environment. This course has no required on-campus components. The synchronous of the course requires real-time interactions with the course instructor, teaching assistants or lab demonstrators (e.g., attending an online seminar group discussion) for some components and some material is covered asynchronously (e.g., viewing pre-recorded lecture videos).

Blended - Mixed Location (online and on campus)
Schedule: Both Synchronous and Asynchronous | Location: Online and On-Campus |Exam: Online or On-Campus

Blended location delivery courses are those courses that include both online and on- campus course components. Typically 50%-80% of the total course delivery occurs on-campus while the online components may be synchronous or asynchronous. (e.g., students watch asynchronous online pre-recorded lectures and attend an on campus synchronous seminar)

Hyflex
Schedule: Fully Synchronous | Location: Online or On-Campus | Exam: Online or On-Campus

Hyflex courses are offered simultaneously in on-campus and online environment. On-campus registration may be limited. On-campus and online students should be intentionally integrated through online interactions and engagement with synchronous learning opportunities. Online students will not be required to attend campus for any component of the course, including assessments.
