Definitions
Distance Education Course - A course in which over 50% of the instruction is delivered via electronic means (i.e., interactive video conferencing, Internet, etc.) to the home or to any other remote location where students and the instructor(s) are not in the same physical location. All DE courses must meet these minimum criteria.
There are two types of DE courses—fully distance education and hybrid.
- Fully Distance Education Course - A course in which 85 percent or more of the planned instruction occurs when the students and instructor(s) are not in the same place.
- Hybrid Distance Education Course - A course in which a majority (more than 50 percent but less than 85 percent), of the planned instruction occurs when the students and instructor(s) are not in the same place.
