Answer 16

ATTENTION AND STYLE

Question 17

Students meet with the instructor at regularly scheduled times (synchronous learning), primarily in a classroom. Students in face-to-face courses will normally be expected to be physically present for all or part of the term/semester. Technology may or may not be used to enhance learning.​

Answer 17

FACE-TO-FACE

Question 18

Students do not meet with the instructor at predefined times (asynchronous learning). Online courses do not require students to be physically present at any point during the period. Nearly all instruction, interaction, and activities take place online. Online classes fall into two categories — synchronous and asynchronous — each of which aligns with different students’ interests, personalities, and learning styles. ​

Answer 18

ONLINE

Question 19

Lectures are broadcast or classes are conducted by correspondence or over the internet, without the student’s needing to attend a school or college. There is no interaction between the teacher and the student. The students get the course material and other resources via mail or post and have to study at their own pace. There is no teacher present but study centers that help the student get through the course. With the absence of teacher-student interaction in distance learning, the students have to prepare the given course material and submit assignments for evaluation.​

Answer 19

DISTANCE LEARNING

Question 20

refers to virtually interacting with two or more people, irrespective of location or time. On the other hand, distance learning is designed for students who cannot attend regular classes.

Answer 20

ONLINE LEARNING

Question 21

instruction is delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning. Students in hybrid courses will normally be expected to be physically present for part of the term (following class schedule). It is roughly balanced between two formats ( 50/50), combining face-to-face and online teaching into one cohesive experience. With a substantial amount of “seat time” they complement, reinforce and elaborate on one another. Hybrid activities create continuity across synchronous and asynchronous, e.g., assigning students a defined task to do on their own offline during a scheduled synchronous session before coming back online and sharing their reflections with the group, or vice versa. ​

Answer 21

HYBRID

Question 22

learning refers to a mostly traditional face-to-face course that is enhanced by incorporating a few class sessions with online or web-based instruction ( 75/25) where technology is used to facilitate activities, deliver content, and/or assess students.​

Answer 22

BLENDED

Question 23

learning refers to instructors and students gathering at the same time and (virtual or physical) place and interacting in “real-time” with from different locations. Students meet via videoconferencing (e.g. Zoom) or other appropriate instructional technology at regularly synchronized scheduled times.

Answer 23

SYNCHRONOUS

Question 24

learning refers to students accessing materials at their own pace and interacting with each other over longer periods. At the asynchronous end lie activities such as watching pre-recorded lectures, reading assigned materials, and participating in discussion boards. Classes run on a more relaxed schedule, with students accessing class materials during different hours and from different locations​

Answer 24

ASYNCRONOUS
