Difference Between Remote Learning And Online Classes

For courses taught remotely by computer in fall 2020 there are two kinds of instruction: "Remote Learning" and "Online".

"Remote Learning" means that there will be some synchronous instruction taking place. Synchronous means that everyone is required to log on at the same time to participate in a Zoom meeting or something similar. If you want to know exactly how much synchronous participation a course requires, contact the instructor.

"Online" means that a course will be completely asynchronous. This means that you will not be required to log on at any particular time. Rather, you will have a set amount of time (such as a week) during which you will complete your work. This usually involves participating in an online discussion forum. If you want to know if a course will be online, contact the instructor.
