Course Delivery Modes

Collin College offers a variety of course delivery options for students, varying from in-person classroom courses to fully online courses. Stay informed about your course requirements by reviewing the course/section notes upon registration, reading the course syllabus, checking your Canvas announcements, contacting your professor, and monitoring other forms of communication from the college.

 

Course Options with On-Campus Requirements:
Face-to-Face Courses: Consist of regularly scheduled face-to-face meetings at a specific campus location; some use of technology is required to support learning.
Hybrid Courses: Courses in which 50% or less of the instruction is delivered online. The remaining instruction is delivered through in-person scheduled meetings.
Blended Courses: Courses in which more than 50% but less than 100% of the instruction is delivered online. Some required face-to-face activities (e.g., discussions, presentations, exam administration) will be scheduled intermittently throughout the term.

 

Course Options with No On-Campus Requirements:
Web Synchronous Courses:
Courses in which 100% of the instruction is conducted using web-based technologies to extend the classroom lecture environment and other activities to students at remote sites in real time. There are no on-campus requirements. These courses utilize web conferencing or other synchronous e-learning media (e.g., Canvas, MS Teams, Studio, Zoom) to provide remote access to the classroom experience.
Web Courses: Courses in which 100% of the instruction is conducted online. Instructional materials, readings, assignments, class discussions, and other assessments may be accessed from remote locations. The course may have some synchronous (i.e., live) components, but is primarily asynchronous. More information about online proctored exams is available here.
