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 E-mail 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.
