Terms to know:

Asynchronous

A class taught 100% only online for the entire duration of the course. The course materials and assignments will be made available by the faculty for students to access on their own time. Class does not meet at regular set time online. Students do not need to come to campus unless they are required to pick up materials.

A01 = Asynchronous

Synchronous

A class taught 100% online in which the instructor and students are required to meet at a set time online in order to engage, review, and discuss course materials and assignments. All the regular class occurs remotely through ConferZoom in the Canvas platform. Students do not need to come to campus unless they are required to pick up materials.

This is what it looks like in the schedule:

S01 = Synchronous

Both (combo of asynchronous and synchronous)

A class that is taught 100% online with a combination of asynchronous and synchronous instruction, which means that portions of the course will be delivered live at scheduled times through ConferZoom while other instruction will be available in Canvas during the term. Students do not need to come to campus unless they are required to pick up materials.

This is what it looks like in the schedule:

B01 = Both; Combination of synchronous and asynchronous
