Types of Online Learning

Asynchronous Online Courses These types of course offerings do not take place in real–time. Students are provided with content and assignments and are given a time frame to complete course work and exams. Interaction usually takes place through discussion boards, blogs and wikis. As a result, there is no class meeting time. Synchronous Online Courses These types of course offerings require the instructor and all enrolled students to interact online simultaneously.

Hybrid Courses Hybrid courses, also known as blended courses, are learning environments that allow for both in–person and online interaction.
