Course Delivery Options

Hybrid Courses

• Web-based learning activities complement classroom work.
• Classroom “seat time” is at least 50% on campus.
• Minimum computer hardware, software, and Internet requirements for online courses will be found on the Hardware/Software Requirements for Online Courses webpage.
• Textbooks and materials can be purchased at each campus bookstore.

Hybrid courses may consist of:

• The instructor lectures with class discussion. Students may complete online assignments based on these classroom discussions with online assignments posted to discussion forums for student interaction.
• An instructor places lectures online using voiceover PowerPoint or streaming media for students to review. Students use these online materials to engage in small group activities and/or discussions in class.
• Students prepare small group projects online, post them to discussion forums for debate and revision, then present them in the class for final discussion and assessment.

Learning Communities

• A team approach between two courses that builds a sense of community for the students.
• Students are enrolled in two theme-based courses per semester, e.g., Math/Biology and English/CIS.
• Students are provided with a syllabus that integrates the learning in the two courses and clarifies how faculty interact with each other in achieving the goals of both courses.
• Students are given the option of group meetings (outside of class) for further coursework, studying, and social interaction.
• Textbooks and materials can be purchased at each campus bookstore
