Types of Online Courses

Column 1

Online

WITH LIVE CLASS MEETINGS

Fully online instructor-led course, with live interactive weekly class meetings facilitated by your instructor in Canvas. Meetings and communication are through chat, email and/or videoconferencing. Faculty and students are online at the same time for the class meetings with additional online work done on their own.

Column 2

Online

NO LIVE CLASS MEETINGS

Fully online, instructor-led course, without mandatory class meetings. Instructor communication and feedback is through Canvas. Students can access class resources and complete work on their own schedule (by posted due dates), as the instructor releases materials. Faculty and students are not necessarily online at the same time unless an appointment is scheduled.

Column 3

Hybrid

For those of you who would prefer to take advantage of the best features of both face-to-face and online learning, HCC offers hybrid courses that combine in person and online delivery. Hybrid courses (also known as blended courses) replace a portion of traditional face-to-face instruction with web-based online learning (e.g., video lectures, online discussions, or activities). Typically, hybrid courses will meet 50 percent of the time in the classroom and 50 percent online.
