Distinguishing Course Delivery Methods

What’s the difference between online, hybrid, and Canvas enhanced courses?

在线课程 use a computer and the Internet to access course materials within Canvas and include the use of 电子邮件, 线程的讨论, 模拟, 多媒体, 聊天室, 和更多的.  In most cases, online courses do not  have a physical meeting time or place.  然而, some courses may require chat sessions which require that students log into Canvas simultaneously.  另外, some courses may require proctored examinations which require students to authenticate their identity face to face.  在线课程 include sections 80-89 and 70-72. 在线 degree program courses include sections 100-109 (注意: Only students that are admitted to an online degree program may register for section 100 level courses).

混合课程 use a combination of face-to-face instruction and online activities in Canvas or a publisher website.  The syllabi will specify meeting dates and online activities.  混合课程 must meet face-to-face at least 51 percent of the scheduled class sessions.  混合课程 include sections 60-69 and 79.

Canvas enhanced courses are face-to-face courses.  The instructor uses Canvas to post your course syllabus and to 电子邮件 students.  There is only a minimal amount of online activities and the course meets in the traditional classroom all semester.
