Some courses and/or course components may be delivered in an alternative delivery format through CourseLink and other online platforms. What do these delivery formats mean?
- AD-A REMOTE (Asynchronous) learning happens without the need for real-time interaction. It has no requirement for attendance at a specific time or location for any activities or exams. Your instructor will provide materials for reading, lectures for viewing, and assignments and assessments with deadlines, and you can access the material and satisfy these requirements based on your own schedule.
An Asynchronous course is similar to U of G Distance Education (DE) courses and uses a variety of tools and resources to provide students with an enriched and flexible online learning experience with no scheduled times. AD-A REMOTE courses will display differently than DE courses on WebAdvisor; please see the "How will courses display on WebAdvisor" section. - AD-S VIRTUAL (Synchronous) learning happens in real time, however there is no requirement for students to attend campus for any exams or activities. This means that you, your classmates, and your instructor interact through a specific online medium (e.g., Zoom), at a specific time (e.g., 9:30 to 10:20, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for some or all course activities.
How will courses display on WebAdvisor?
For help determining whether a course has asynchronous, synchronous and/or in-person components when searching and registering on WebAdvisor, click on the buttons below to view screenshots. Instructions on searching for courses are available on the Student Planning website.
For asynchronous courses that are not specifically Distance Education (DE; see description above), the "Locations" column will show "AD-A REMOTE." Here's an example of how an asynchronous course will appear on WebAdvisor when you use the Subject Search or the "Catalog Listing" view in the Advanced Search:
DE courses will have "Distance Education" in the "Locations" column. Here's an example of how a DE course will appear on WebAdvisor when you use the Subject Search or the "Catalog Listing" view in the Advanced Search:
Synchronous courses will show the specific day(s) and time in the "Times" column. The "Locations" column will say "AD-S VIRTUAL." Here's an example of how a course with a synchronous lecture and a synchronous lab will appear on WebAdvisor when you use the Subject Search or the "Catalog Listing" view in the Advanced Search:
In-person courses will show the day(s) and time in the "Times" column and the building and room number in the "Locations" column. Here's an example of how a course with a face-to-face lecture and a face-to-face seminar will appear on WebAdvisor when you use the Subject Search or the "Catalog Listing" view in the Advanced Search:
Some courses will have a mixture of delivery formats, with the lecture offered in one format and the lab/seminar offered in a different format.
A course that has a synchronous lecture and an asynchronous lab will have "AD-S VIRTUAL LEC" and "AD-A REMOTE LAB" in the "Locations" column. Here's an example of how a course that has a synchronous lecture and an asynchronous lab will appear on WebAdvisor when you use the Subject Search or the "Catalog Listing" view in the Advanced Search:
A course that has a synchronous lecture and an in-person seminar will have "AD-S VIRTUAL LEC" and a building and room number for SEM. Here's an example of how a course that has a synchronous lecture and an in-person seminar will appear on WebAdvisor when you use the Subject Search or the "Catalog Listing" view in the Advanced Search:
