Q&A: What is the difference between online, hybrid, and classroom-based classes?

Online classes are fully online with no in-person element. There is no set meeting time for online classes, but you may be required to watch videos, contribute to discussions, or complete assignments within a set timeframe. Online classes are accessed via D2L, our online learning platform.

Hybrid classes are a combination of online and classroom-based classes. Hybrid classes will have scheduled times to meet in the classroom each week as well as an online component each week. Online content is accessed via D2L, our online learning platform.

Classroom-based classes are traditional in-person classes with set meeting times each week. Classroom-based classes may have homework, quizzes/tests, papers, etc. that are submitted via D2L, our online learning platform.
