Eastman
At Eastman, online learning exists on a continuum
Some course content exists online (Blackboard, blogs, video lectures) but course is mostly taught face-to-face
More course elements exist on line; instruction and interaction can occur asynchronously or in “real time” online, some face-to-face time
100% online, course never meets face-to-face

Online Learning can be:
Fully online
synchronous (lectures, etc., take place in real time, on line and students watch and participate through Twitter feeds, etc.)
assignments completed online, with some solutions provided.
TAs hold office hours on line exams taken on-line (issue of academic integrity
arises, but can be solved in various ways) interactive
Online Learning can be:
Partially online (Hybrid)
combination of virtual and actual asynchronous lectures (already recorded) assignments and activities complement face-to-face
classroom meetings (“flipped classroom”)
