Online Synchronous –Students are required to attend some or all of the class sessions “live” with their instructor via an online technology such as Zoom. While sections may be a combination of Online Synchronous and Online Asynchronous, a class section would be considered Online Synchronous if one or more lecture hours are held in this manner. Note that the date(s) and time(s) of any required synchronous or “live” sessions must be published in the Schedule of Classes for that section.
Online Asynchronous –Students complete their coursework without ever being required to be “live” with their instructor. While sections may be a combination of Online Synchronous and Online Asynchronous, a class section would be considered Online Asynchronous if students are never required to be “live” with their instructor during the course of the semester.
