Application to teach online

Online or Internet Classes:

Online courses are taken exclusively over the Internet, there are no on-campus meetings. However, books are required. All work is submitted to your instructor online. Your "virtual classroom" is delivered over the web via WebCT (Web Course Tools).

Hybrid Classes:

Hybrid courses meet both on-campus and online-think of them as traditional face-to-face courses where some of the on- campus class meetings are replaced with online assignments. In a hybrid course, you will attend meetings on-campus during the date and times listed in this schedule of classes.

Web-Enhanced Classes:

Web-Enhanced courses are traditional face-to-face classes that are augmented with course web sites. However, unlike hybrid courses, web-enhanced classes continue to hold all of their meetings on-campus. The course web site is an extra value
