First, Some Helpful Common Terminology...
Before sitting down and planning our courses and lessons, it's important to look over some key terminology. What precisely is, for example, "remote" teaching and learning? What is the difference between "synchronous" and "asynchronous" exactly? See below some very simple definitions and examples .
Remote
Remote
When a traditional course shifts online due to an unexpected interruption.
Example: Everything we are doing in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Note:
"remote" ≠"online"
Hybrid
Hybrid
When a course is designed in advance to blend online and classroom instruction.
Example: LR 111 in Fall 2019
Note: CAS has endorsed this approach for our Summer Term classes.
Synchronous
Synchronous
When students and instructors work on tasks at the same time.
Example: Class discussions via Zoom
Asynchronous
Asynchronous
When students work with course materials on their own at different times.
Example: Reading or Listening Comprehension Activity on Blackboard or Google
