Resources by Course Type

The Online Learning Consortium (formerly The Sloan Consortium) defines the different types of courses in the following way. You can view the full article here.

Web Facilitated courses have 1% to 29% of its content delivered online. This type of course uses web-based technology to facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. The course uses a course management system (CMS) or web pages to post the syllabus and readings, for example. Click here to see a list of suggested list of tools for Web Facilitated courses.

Blended/Hybrid courses have 30% to 79% of its content delivered online. This type of course blends online and face-to-face delivery. A substantial proportion of the content is delivered online. The course typically uses online discussions, and typically has some face-to-face meetings. Click here to see a list of suggested tools for Blended/Hybrid courses.
