Instruction Modes

Instruction Mode indicates the manner in which instruction is delivered for each class section during a given semester. The assigned instruction mode can be found in the LionPATH Schedule of Classes, within the "Class Details" section of each class.

New for Fall 2023 Semester: Several new instruction modes go into effective fall semester 2023. The latest instruction modes are described below but you can learn more about the new modes along with the updates to existing modes from the following resources:

Current instruction modes include:

  • In Person (P): Class meets in person at days/times listed. Instructors can offer up to less than 25 percent of an in-person class remotely (synchronously or asynchronously), a flexibility to manage their own absences, whether due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances, during travel, or for pedagogical reasons.
  • Hybrid: 25-50% Remote (H2): Class will meet in person and remotely. 25-50% of the class will be taught remotely synchronously or asynchronously.
  • Hybrid: 51-74% Remote (H5): Class will meet in person and remotely. 51-74% of the class will be taught remotely synchronously or asynchronously.
  • Hybrid: 75% and up Remote (H7): Class will meet in person and remotely. 75-99% or more of the class will be taught remotely synchronously or asynchronously.
  • Remote Asynchronous (RA): Class meets remotely. 100% of the class will be taught remotely asynchronously.
  • Remote Synchronous (RS): Class meets remotely at days/times listed. 100% of the class will be taught remotely synchronously. Instructors can offer up to less than 25 percent of a Remote Synchronous class remotely asynchronously, a flexibility to manage their own absences, whether due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances, during travel, or for pedagogical reasons.
  • Video-Receiving (VR): Shared class that a campus receives at days/times listed. 100% of the class will be taught remotely synchronously. Instructors can offer up to less than 25 percent of a remote synchronous class asynchronously, a flexibility to manage their own absences, whether due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances, during travel, or for pedagogical reasons. Only for the Digital Learning Cooperative (DLC).
  • Remote Blended (RB): Class meets 100% remotely. The class will be intentionally taught remotely combining asynchronous and synchronous (at days/times listed) instruction.
