Course Modalities and Section Numbers

Course modality refers to how a course is offered by the instructor. Not all courses follow the traditional in-person setting.   As the field and practice of distance education and online learning has matured, the number of course modalities has increased as well.

Below, you’ll find an overview of different course modalities and key considerations for each. These modalities are described so that you will be better equipped to design the best possible learning experience for your students. In addition, students will be able to register for courses with a clearer understanding of two key factors:

  • whether or not a course will require them to be physically present on campus at specific times
  • whether or not a course will require them to attend online meetings at specific times

Discuss Options with Your Academic Department or Advisor

Your academic unit may have specific modalities that are preferred, discouraged, or limited. Be sure to discuss your preferred course format(s) with your academic advisor for each semester course options.  If preferred options are not available, discuss the formats with your academic department for future term plans.

On-Campus/In-person

This is the mode of instruction that you’re likely most familiar with. These class sessions meet in person on the specified day(s) and times, throughout the term.

On-Campus/In-Person  Hybrid 

These class sessions blend in-person sessions on the specified day(s) and times with online asynchronous learning opportunities (e.g., video-lectures, online activities, discussions). For example, instead of attending a traditional, on-campus course that meets Tuesday/Thursday  8:30-9:50, you may only come to campus on Tuesdays, from 8:30-9:50. All other learning activities would be moved to an asynchronous online format.

Fully Online Modalities with No On-Campus Presence

The following modalities do not require a physical classroom. All course activities are conducted online via synchronous video conferencing and/or asynchronously.

Online: Asynchronous

Asynchronous online classes have no set meeting times, and course content is available to you and students 24/7 via CANVAS. If an instructor offers synchronous meeting opportunities in this modality, student attendance should be optional and students who cannot attend should not be penalized.

Online: Synchronous

This class meets at scheduled times via a video conferencing tool, such as Zoom. The scheduled meetings cover the entirety of the required contact hours for the course.
