| Abstract: | This report focuses on online courses and programs offered as a normal part of an institution's programs, as well as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) typically offered for free to those outside of the institution's student body. An online course is defined as one in which at least 80 percent of the course content is delivered online. Face-to-face instruction includes courses in which zero to 29 percent of the content is delivered online; this category includes both traditional and web facilitated courses. The remaining alternative, blended (or hybrid) instruction, has between 30 and 80 percent of the course content delivered online. The definition of an online course has remained consistent for the eleven years these national reports have been conducted. These definitions were presented to the respondents at the beginning of the survey, and repeated in the body of individual questions where appropriate. While there is considerable diversity among course delivery methods used by individual instructors, the following is presented to illustrate the prototypical course classifications used in this study. |
