What It Is

An online course is one where the course is entirely asynchronous, or basically there is no set time to meet. All lecture, activities, and assignments are completed online. Then there is the typical homework and studying as well.

What to Expect

Your online class will most likely be inside Canvas, although it may be in WAMAP or on other tools such as textbook companies' websites.

Online Work

 The online work will include a variety of different things. Here are some of the main ones:

• Lecture videos
• Discussion boards
• Reading or writing activities
• Video activities
• Virtual field trips or web quests
• Interactives from other websites or the textbook

All types of classes should be equal in rigor and time commitment.

What It Is

An in-person course is one where the course is face-to-face on a campus site with your instructor at a particular time.  Then there is the typical homework and studying as well.

What to Expect

In a face-to-face class you would have homework outside of class that in some cases would be completed online.

As a student, you can expect that a portion of your instruction and assignments will be presented in an assigned classroom.

• Students have set days and times for on-campus classes.
• Some of the required class work will be completed and posted online and some of the assignments will be completed and submitted in class. Your instructor will provide details regarding what class work will be required in class and what work will be required outside of class.
• Students have the flexibility to choose when and where to complete homework as long as they meet the deadlines specified in the class syllabus.

All types of classes should be equal in rigor and time commitment.
