In a real-time online class, course meetings occur virtually on
Zoom. The course meetings occur at scheduled days and times.
Instructors will use Canvas to disseminate grades and potentially
other class content, such as documents, discussions, and
announcements. At the start of the semester, a detailed

IVC's Schedule Site and in Canvas.
In a HyFlex class, all course meetings are held face-to-face at IVC or a designated physical site, and may also be attended
virtually, via Zoom (or the district-approved video conferencing platform). The course meetings occur at scheduled days and
times. Instructors may still use Canvas or other software products to enhance the class outside of the face-to-face meetings,
such as by posting documents, discussions, and announcements. High-stake assessments, such as mid-term or final will be the
same exam for online or face-to-face students. Training/approvals: Canvas Basics, Zoom, Classroom Technology Tools.
In a hybrid class, course activity occurs both online and face-toface on campus; both the online and face-to-face portion are
required. The face-to-face meetings occur on scheduled days
