There are several modes of instruction listed, but the ones to search for are:  

• In-Person: These classes meet face-to-face. All instruction occurs in a designated campus location (classroom) during regularly scheduled, predetermined days and times (synchronous) for which instructor and students are physically present throughout; it will require detailed health and safety protocols for engagement among faculty and students.
• Hybrid Asynchronous: Student learning occurs both in scheduled in‐person class meetings during specific published times and locations, and in asynchronous online class interactions. Typically, hybrid asynchronous classes will meet for fewer hours in person than standard in-person classes, with more out-of-class work required.
• Hybrid Synchronous: Student learning occurs both in scheduled in-person class meetings at specific published times and locations, and in synchronous online class meetings at specific published times. Typically, hybrid synchronous classes will meet for fewer hours in person than standard in-person classes, but will have required online class meetings.
• Asynchronous Online: Student learning occurs exclusively online, asynchronously; there are no in-person convenings of the entire class; student engagement with the faculty member is facilitated as needed via a digital platform. There will be no prescheduled meeting times, either online or in‐person.
• Blended Modality: Student learning occurs primarily online, asynchronously, but with pre‐scheduled synchronous in virtual convenings of the entire class (e.g., via Zoom).
• Synchronous Online: Student learning occurs exclusively online, during regularly scheduled, predetermined days and times, with the instructor and students virtually present throughout (e.g., via Zoom).
