Due to the many changes brought about by COVID-19, our students will see new course learning types they have not seen before. We hope the following information provides guidance as you see new types of information for your courses.
Example of "OLD" Course Section in MyUI
For Fall 2019, lab section ASTR:1070:0021 met every Tuesday from 8:30am-10:20am in 666 VAN.
Example of "NEW" Course Section in MyUI
For Fall 2020, lab section ASTR:1070:0021 is considered a Blended "Hybrid" section. You will notice through the Delivery Mode it is meeting both Face to face and web. The Learning Type is describing a blended modality. Additionally, the Registration Information field explains how students are rotated through the lab. Not only will this class meet on Tuesday from 8:30am-10:30am in groups of six, but the other portion of the students will have work online at this time.
These courses utilize recorded instruction that does not occur at the same place or at the same time (on your own time).
Asynchronous courses often have an "Arranged Time" and "World Wide Web" listed as the location. Additionally, they will have a Delivery Mode of "Web" and an explanation of Asynchronous Learning Type.
This entry should mean that the student can view the section lecture or activity at the time of their choice.
These courses utilize real-time online instruction at a specified day and time.
Synchronous courses often have specified time and "World Wide Web" listed as the location. Additionally, they will have a Delivery Mode of "Web" and an explanation of Synchronous Learning Type.
This entry should mean that students will need to be logged on at this time for synchronous lecture or activity with the class.
These online courses have components of both synchronous and asynchronous modalities which utilize instruction on your own time as well as at a specified day and time.
Blended courses will have both a synchronous (specified time/World Wide Web location) and asynchronous (Arranged Time/World Wide Web location) line.
There may also be more information in the Registration Information area within MyUI explaining how students will be rotated.
These hybrid courses have components of synchronous or asynchronous modalities in combination with face-to-face instruction in a classroom.
Hybrid courses often have two lines. One time/location line will be synchronous with a specified time and "World Wide Web" listed as the location. The other time and location line will have a face-to-face meeting pattern with a specified time and location. Additionally, they will have Delivery Modes "Web" and "Face-to-Face" as well as an explanation of Blended Learning Type.
There may also be more information in the Registration Information area within MyUI explaining how students will be rotated.
This entry is not yet complete. The classroom assignment is still likely outstanding as it is missing the "World Wide Web" location, ARR or a classroom assignment.
Contact the Course Instructor with any course content or modality (instruction) questions. If an instructor is not yet assigned to the course, or if you don’t hear back from your instructor, please contact the course department which can be found in MyUI.
If you have general questions regarding your class schedule, please reach out to your advisor.
The majority of changes to courses and classroom assignments are complete for the initial release of the schedule of courses. However, it is still possible, due to a variety of factors, that changes will occur. Please be sure to check your email and class schedule for changes.
