Course Delivery Formats

Instruction Modes

The instruction mode for a course indicates how a course will be taught.

In-Person

All instruction takes place in person. Instruction may be supported by digital resources, but students are expected to attend in-person classes.

Hybrid

Class is taught using a mix of in-person and online delivery methods, and all students are required to participate in both. In-person content may include lectures, assignments, exams, or other learning opportunities.

HyFlex

Class is taught in a physical space with some students attending in person and some online. Students can move between online and in-person instruction as they see fit.
