Instruction Mode
Instruction Mode describes the type of instructional contact between students and instructors. It is defined at the section level, meaning that the lecture and lab sections for the same course may have different instruction modes. The field is updated in Wolverine Access under Maintain Schedule of Classes > Basic Data panel.
P - In Person - Instructors and students meet in a physical location for all scheduled class time. Requested room capacity for in-person sections should reflect the number of students who will be physically present. This is the default mode when a new section is added.
D - Distance - Students receive instruction remotely, using video conferencing technology for synchronous (real-time) classes or asynchronous (recorded) classes. Students and instructors are never in the same physical location.
M - Hybrid (formerly referred to as Mixed) - All students in the section will attend some class meetings in person and all students will participate in some class meetings remotely. Requested room cap for a hybrid section should reflect in-person attendance on any given day.
Some examples of hybrid meetings include:
- Class meets in person on Mondays and remotely on Wednesdays.
- Half of the students meet in person on Tuesdays and remotely on Thursdays. The other half of the students meet remotely on Tuesday and in person on Thursdays.
- Class meets in person once a month and all other class meetings are remote. This is still considered hybrid.
Remember, if some students in a section are participating in the class exclusively remotely, a separate distance section should be created for these students.
