Course Delivery Methods

At North Country Community College we understand that our students lead very busy lives. With that in mind, we have developed the following course delivery methods that balance out the flexibility and structure that students need to be successful:

Instructional Methods		How the Course Is Taught
	On Campus	Taught in-person for each scheduled class as per the course schedule.
	Flex (Includes a zoom option)	Taught in-person for each scheduled class as per the course schedule along with a zoom option for students to participate in the class. Students get to choose whether to attend in person or live via Zoom on any given scheduled class.
	Fully Online Asynchronous Online	100% asynchronous online. All course work is completed online with due dates and timelines with no live “real-time” instruction required.
	Hybrid	Courses that combine in person instruction in the classroom as per the course schedule along with online instruction (approx. 50% f2f in the classroom/50% online).
	Live Online	Scheduled class times are taught through zoom in real-time as per the course schedule along with online activities (approx. 50% synchronous “live Zoom”/50% online).

On-Campus Courses: Face-to-Face courses will be held on campus for the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 semesters. Those course sections will have the following section letters depending on the campus.

See the list below.

Saranac Lake Campus section letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G

H = Hybrid: Attendance Required. Indicates a class that combines on-campus sessions with online work. Often the class is divided equally between on-campus meetings and online work, although there may be some variation in the schedule. Students are expected to be present at the time indicated on the schedule. Lack of attendance at the scheduled class time may impact a student’s grade and ability to complete the course. All work is expected to be completed in line with established due dates and timelines.

F = Flex: Attendance Required, either On-Campus or via Live Video. Indicates a class that has on-campus sessions that will be broadcast. Students may choose to attend class on campus or attend remotely via video conference. Lack of attendance at the scheduled class time may impact a student’s grade and ability to complete the course. Regardless of how students choose to attend the class, all work is expected to be completed in line with established due dates and timelines.

V-VVV = Live Online: Attendance Required via Video. Indicates a class delivered remotely (off-campus) with a live lecture session at a scheduled time, and students are expected to be present via video at the time indicated on the schedule. Lack of attendance at the scheduled time may impact a student’s grade and ability to complete the course. All work is expected to be completed in line with established due dates and timelines.

Z-ZZZ = Completely Online: Indicates a class delivered online only with no scheduled live lecture session. Instructors may choose to schedule additional live study sessions or individual meeting sessions with students. All work is expected to be completed in line with established due dates and timelines.
