PROPOSED TEXT:
Fully Online
Programs in which all instruction is delivered online, with no requirement for in-person attendance, are considered fully online. All course content is available to students in a learning management system and/or other educationally sound platforms managed by the institution. All learning activities and assessments take place online. Fully online courses include consistent interaction between instructors and students and amongst students.
If a required internship or externship does not take place on campus, the program is considered fully online.
Hybrid Learning
Programs in which components take place both online and in person are classified as hybrid. Traditional classroom pedagogy and approaches, such as lectures and student discussions, may be supported and/or replaced by online components utilizing a structured LMS or other educational platform managed by the institution.
