delivered in writing or orally. • Web Facilitated: Uses web-based technology to
facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. • Blended/Hybrid: Blends online and face-to-face
delivery. Substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, has a reduced number of face-to-face meetings.
• Online: Most or all of the content is delivered online, no face-to-face meetings.

Who Has Distance/Online? • Major issue is definitional. • BSRG: Any online, of any length, at any time, to any
audience. • IPEDS: Undergrad - “student enrolled in a 4- or 5-year
bachelor's degree program, an associate's degree program, or a vocational or technical program below the baccalaureate.”
• Extremely close for larger (1,500+ students) institutions. • BSRG includes far more smaller institutions (informal
online, non-credit, non-degree, etc.).
