Online Learning Definitions
On-line Courses:
On-line courses are delivered over the Internet and are usually
web-based. Courseware management systems (e.g., D2L, WebCT, Blackboard)
are often used to organize content, activities, communication, and
assessment. Direct on-line interaction with the faculty member, and
between students are components of this delivery method.
Hybrid Courses:
Course content is covered through some combination of traditional
face-to-face on-campus classroom hours, on-line instruction, and/or
traditional Interactive TV (ITV).
Distance Education (ITV) Courses:
This type of course connects instructors and students in simultaneous
two-way communication. Everyone may see and speak with each other for
real-time discussions. Multiple Distance Education ITV (Interactive TV)
sites are located on the UW-L campus with connectivity to sites located
outside of UW-L at public or private organizations.
