Information on current online learning activities at Eastman

A continuum of definitions for online learningPossible opportunities for online learning at

Eastman

At Eastman, online learning exists on a continuum

Some course content exists online (Blackboard, blogs, video lectures) but course is mostly taught face-to-face

More course elements exist on line; instruction and interaction can occur asynchronously or in “real time” online, some face-to-face time

100% online, course never meets face-to-face
