*Technology-Enhanced Courses (TE)
Introduction
Technology-enhanced courses are delivered using a
hybrid of modalities.
Limited Classroom Attendance
While these courses generally do not require regularly
scheduled classroom attendance, residence sessions may be required for examinations
or to conduct labs, seminars, or provide specialized instruction as appropriate
to the course.
Online Learning Activities
These courses have highly interactive on-line learning
activities with a cohort group, including discussion, groups projects, or
other exercises that stimulate critical thinking and concept application.
Communication Modes with Instructor and Other Students
The student will complete the course requirements
and keep in touch with the instructor and classmates using a variety of
communication modes including, for example, e-mail, interactive compressed
video conferencing, videotapes, computer and video conferencing, internet/world
wide web resources, printed materials, postal service, fax, and telephone.
Course information regarding delivery modality(s), technology and computer
competency requirement, weekly online commitments, and scheduled residency
or synchronous class sessions will be available to the student.
**Schedule
These courses have specific start and end dates, generally
within the traditional semester framework. The faculty/institution have
primary control over the pace of the course.
Credits
The courses carry the same academic credits as traditional
courses offered in a face-to-face format and may be used toward total credit
hours for tuition purposes.
**Tennessee Online Courses (TN)
Introduction
Tennessee online courses are those that use web-based
components as the principle means of distributing information and creating
and managing interactions.
Communication with Instructor and Cohort Group
Communication and interaction is via e-mail and discussion
forums with an instructor and cohort group.
Interactive Online Activities in Asynchronous Format
Highly interactive online activities are carried out
in an asynchronous format, meaning students can log on to, read and post
online messages at any time during the defined activity period.
Schedule
These courses generally follow the university calendar
and meet the same credit stipulations as on-campus courses.
