Unlike traditional classroom course, ONL courses have no regularly scheduled meetings. My SPCH 1311 ONL courses meet live on Zoom once during the semester to complete a major project. Your required live virtual meeting time for this type of course is about 1 hour for the term.
DLS courses are just like classroom courses. These classes meet at a specific, scheduled time 1 or 2 days a week. The only difference is that DLS classes meet on Zoom rather than in a classroom. Your required live virtual meeting time for this type of course is about 3 hours per week.
