Hybrid Definition Adapted from SLOAN-C and 2009-10 Curry College Hybrid Taskforce

Recommendations from Subcommittee 1 on the 2009-10 Curry College Hybrid Taskforce: Subcommittee I: How should we define, describe, and market hybrid/online courses to students and faculty?

Adopt the prototypical course classifications developed by the Sloan Consortium for E-Learning instruction and course delivery.
This is about contact time, not percentage of assignments.

Proportion of Content Delivered Online	Type of Course	Typical Description
0%	Traditional	Course with no online technology used — content is delivered in writing or orally
0 to 29%	Web Facilitated	Course that uses web-based technology to facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. May use a course management system (CMS) or web pages to post the syllabus and assignments.
30 to 79%	Hybrid	Course that blends online and face-to-face delivery. Substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, typically uses online discussions, and typically has a reduced number of face-to-face meetings.
80+%	Online	A course where most or all of the content is delivered online. Typically have no face-to-face meetings.
