As part of our effort to clarify course delivery for students, we have adopted new instructional modality definitions for all Buffalo State courses. Beginning in spring 2017, the following definitions will be applied:

• Traditional - All course activity organized around scheduled class meetings, which may be complemented with web-enhanced online course activity.
• Hybrid - Online activity mixed with classroom meetings, replacing at least 20 percent, but not all, required on-site meetings.
• Hybrid-Plus - Courses that are mostly online (80%) but require a number of scheduled classroom or on-site gatherings.
• Online Asynchronous- All course activity completed online; no required on-site sessions.
• Online Synchronous - All course activity completed online; requires some or all scheduled interactive online sessions in which direct instruction occurs in real time, without time delay.
