Students - Navigating Online & Hybrid Courses

Synchronous: Where the instructor is present at the same time as the learners.
Asynchronous: Instruction does not occur at the same place or at the same time.

In-person or Face to Face: Student receives instruction in a space located on-campus. The instructor and student interact in the same physical space 76% to 100% of the scheduled class time.

Hybrid - Consist of two of the three instructional modalities: In-person (assigned a classroom to teach on campus) or Online Hybrid Synchronous and a portion of the class is taught online asynchronously.

Hybrid – In person scheduled class time may vary
Student receives instruction in a space located on-campus. The instructor and student interact in the same physical space at a minimum of 2% - 75% of the scheduled class time

Combined with either:

Online Hybrid Asynchronous
For formal instruction, the instructor and learner share the same physical space (In-person class) Electronic delivery is used for the balance of instruction. During electronic interaction, the instructor and learner interact mostly at different times (e.g. recorded lectures, quizzes, discussion board or podcast). Combined with virtual office hours

OR

Online Hybrid Synchronous
For formal instruction, the instructor and learner share the same physical space (In-person class)  . Electronic delivery is used for the balance of instruction. During electronic interaction, the instructor and learner interact mostly at the same time (e.g. video conference with Zoom live session).

100% Online
Apart from a face-to face orientation or class meeting (on-campus), the instructor and student do not share the same physical space during the scheduled class time.  This instructional modality can be synchronous or asynchronous.

Flipped Classroom
“The Flipped Learning Network (FLN) describes flipping as moving “direct instruction” from the “group space” to the “individual space”, freeing up group time for interactive learning with the educator acting as a guide.
The goal of flipping is to maximize the utility of face-to-face time between the teacher and the learner. So while the ‘classic’ definition of flipping is to have students watch video lectures at home and do homework in class, this technique is not always the straightforward choice for all situations.”
