Instruction Modes/Modality

In-Person

All students are expected to meet in real time at scheduled class times, in-person, in an on-campus location.

• Example: Class meets MWF 9:00-9:50 A.M. in MND 1003.

HerkyFlex (In-person & Synchronous)

Students choose between two options of how, when, and where they attend class. Students will make their selection about which option they will take upon enrolling in the class:

• Option 1: Meet at scheduled class times, in-person, on campus.
• Option 2: Meet at pre-determined scheduled class times online through a remote connection (via Zoom).
  • Example: Class meets MWF 9:00-9:50 M. in MND 1003 AND over Zoom.

HyFlex (In-person, Synchronous, Asynchronous)

Students choose between three options of how, when, and where they attend class. Students can decide which option to select week-by-week throughout the semester.

• Option 1: Meet at the scheduled class time in person in an on-campus classroom.
• Option 2: Meet at the scheduled class time through a remote connection (via Zoom).
• Option 3: Attend asynchronously completing class sessions using online materials.
  • Example: Class meets MWF 9:00-9:50 M. in MND 1003 AND over Zoom AND available asynchronously.

Blended (In-Person & Synchronous)

All students are expected to meet at scheduled class times, in-person, in an on-campus location on a rotating basis. When students are not scheduled to meet in-person and on-campus, they are expected to attend class at scheduled class times through a remote connection via Zoom.

Instructors can decide how to rotate students for in-person instruction in the following ways:

• Option 1: The instructor divides up the class into cohorts, and the cohorts rotate the days that they attend the live class sessions in-person and through a remote connection via Zoom.
• Option 2: The instructor can designate a certain number of in-person seats available for each class Students can sign-up for the in-person seats as designated by the instructor’s sign-up guidelines.
  • Example: Class meets MWF 9 - 9:50 a.m. in MND 1003 AND over Zoom AND available asynchronously.
  • Example: Class meets MWF 9 - 9:50 a.m. The class is divided into three cohorts. On Monday, Cohort 1 meets in MND 1003, while Cohorts 2 and 3 attend the class via remote connection (Zoom). On Wednesday, Cohort 2 meets in MND 1003, while Cohorts 1 and 3 attend the class via remote connection (Zoom). On Friday, Cohort 3 meets in MND 1003 while Cohorts 1 and 2 attend the class via remote connection (Zoom).

Hybrid (In-Person & Combination of Synchronous/Asynchronous)

All students are expected to meet for some portion of their total class hours at scheduled class times, in-person, in an on-campus location. The remaining portion of all students’ total class time is scheduled online asynchronously or synchronously, depending on the course content.

Example: Class meets in person on Wednesday and Friday 9 - 9:50 a.m. in MND 1003; Monday’s class work to be completed asynchronously online.

Online Synchronous (Online Only)

All students are expected to meet in real-time at scheduled class times through a remote connection (via Zoom). Some synchronous class sessions may be replaced with asynchronous work as detailed in the course syllabus.

Example: Class meets MWF 9 - 9:50 a.m. over Zoom.

Online Asynchronous (Online Only)

All students are expected to complete coursework using online materials without specific class meeting days and times.

Example: Class materials distributed and interactions conducted via Canvas. No class sessions scheduled, but synchronous time for office hours or optional study sessions may be offered as appropriate.
