The students will be able to demonstrate learning through quizzes and hands-on laboratory activities. The online course relies more heavily on simulators to provide students visual tools to manipulate via the computer. Instructor has organized several in course design. ARE THE METHODS OF EVALUATION DIFFERENT FROM THOSE LISTED ON THE APPROVED COURSE OUTLINE? IF SO, IN WHAT WAYS DO THEY DIFFER? Yes, students enrolled in online course purchase a electronics kit along with textbook materials to conduct live experiences and enter information for completion of online labs. As a result, instructor is evaluating results of work and not visually witnessing student at work in a lab. DE Addendum PREPARED BY: Pedro Mendez COURSE PREFIX AND NUMBER: ELTEC 208 COURSE TITLE: Fundamentals of Electricity and Electronics EFFECTIVE DATE: 05/02/2016 DISTANCE EDUCATION: MIXED MODALITIES/HYBRID COURSE Some, but not all, class time is replaced by distance education. Students must have access to a computer and the Internet. Course has one or more on-campus meetings. 11:02:46 AM]

8 DE Addendum Describe this hybrid option. Typically, what parts of the course are done face-to-face? Typically, what parts are done online? Lab portions of the course would be done face to face and Lecture portion of the course would be done online via blackboard. Approximately 60% is completed face to face and approximately 40% is completed online. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION: On Campus Orientation Sessions Group Meetings/Review Sessions Viewing Text-based Materials Viewing video/audio Materials Web or Computer-based Activities Reading Course Materials Other Assigned Readings Quizzes, Exams, and Surveys CHECK BELOW THE METHODS THAT WILL ENSURE APPROPRIATE INSTRUCTOR/STUDENT CONTACT AS REQUIRED BY TITLE 5: DESCRIBE HOW THE METHODS SELECTED WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO MEET THE COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE: Learning options provide a flexible approach for working adults. Blackboard organized lessons, video and simulator material and self assessment check points would support student and learning progress of content. Weekly lab times would continue to allow instructor to monitor application progress. ARE THE METHODS OF EVALUATION DIFFERENT FROM THOSE LISTED ON THE APPROVED COURSE OUTLINE?
