Definitions
- Web-enhanced: "Web-enhanced" describes any course that includes content delivered via the learning management system. A web-enhanced course meets regularly in a face-to-face setting. By virtue of the learning management system's integration with the student information system (SIS) database, all courses are potentially web-enhanced. All courses must include, at a minimum, the current term course syllabus in the learning management system. Other delivery tools may be incorporated for enhancement purposes as well (for example, assessments, assignments, discussion forums, etc.)
- Web-blended: "Web-blended" describes any course that includes a mixture of face-to-face sessions. Synchronous sessions are typically taught in real-time via chat and web or videoconferencing software. Asynchronous sessions are taught using discussion forums, e-mail, assignment postings, and other non-real-time features.
- Web-based: "Web-based" describes any course that meets fully online. Asynchronous (such as through discussion forums, e-mail, etc.) and synchronous meetings (such as through online chat or web or videoconferencing software) must be scheduled. Times and dates for any synchronous class meetings will be announced by the instructor.
