Course Delivery Options

These items provides pointers to help you prepare course content and activities that align with the type of course you teach.  It is important to consider what type of delivery you will need to use to support student learning:  Synchronous  or Asynchronous.

Synchronous
Asynchronous
Learning takes place when the instructor and students interact in real-time, usually at a scheduled time, using audio conference calling, video web-conferencing, or other web-based technologies. Learning takes place through instruction and activities that are delivered through the University's LMS. Students interact with content and complete assignments independently, at a time and pace of their choice.
