Peers attend in-person courses at designated times plus engage in virtual learning activities, which may be either synchronous or asynchronous.
In-person: Courses taught onsite at scheduled course times so that students can interact with their instructor and classmates in person.
Online: Courses that include designated times for interactive experience, virtual break-out rooms, written assignments, and “virtual-live” or pre-recorded presentations by students.
