Definitions of E-Learning

To adhere to a standard model for online terminology, Texas Wesleyan University adheres to the e-learning definitions provided by the Online Learning Consortium as follows:

Classroom course	Course activity is organized around scheduled class meetings.
Synchronous Distributed Course	Web-based technologies are used to extend classroom lectures and other activities to students at remote sites in real time.
Web-Enhanced Course	Online course activity complements class sessions without reducing the number of required class meetings.
Blended (also called Hybrid) Classroom Course	Online activity is mixed with classroom meetings, replacing a significant percentage, but not all required face-to-face instructional activities.
Blended (also called Hybrid) Online Course	Most course activity is done online, but there are some required face-to-face instructional activities, such as lectures, discussions, labs, or other in-person learning activities.
Online Course	All course activity is done online; there are no required face-to-face sessions within the course and no requirements for on-campus activity.
Flexible Mode Course	Offers multiple delivery modes so that students can choose which delivery mode(s) to use for instructional and other learning purposes.
