Center for Online Learning (COLL)

The University of Guam has standardized the names and classifications for six methods of learning. This standardization will help provide clarity and ease of selection and decision-making when the next registration period comes along.

• Face to face (F2F): A class designated F2F meets on campus during scheduled class days and times.
  
  
• Hybrid (HYB): A HYB class will have both online classes and face-to-face classes. Example: A class may be scheduled M/W at 9:30 and meet on campus on Mondays at 9:30 am and connect asynchronously on Wednesdays on Moodle. The online classes may be a combination of synchronous and asynchronous delivery.
  
  
• HYflex (HYFLX): A Hybrid-Flexible class is designed for students to have the option of attending class in person (F2F) or remotely at the scheduled, synchronous course time (O-SYN).
  
  
• Online Asynchronous (O-ASY): An O-ASY class is a fully online class where students are not required to log into Moodle at a specified time or attend any live class lectures. Weekly or bi-weekly coursework deadlines are determined by the instructor and submitted to the Moodle classroom.
  
  
• Online Synchronous (O-SYN): An O-SYN class requires students to attend and participate in live lectures and class discussions through MS Teams, BigBlueButton, Zoom, or another live video conferencing tool linked in the Moodle classroom.
  
  
• Online Hybrid (O-HYB): An O-HYB class has both asynchronous and synchronous components. Example: A class may be scheduled MW and be structured asynchronously on Mondays and meet synchronously on Wednesdays at 9:30 am through MS Teams linked in the Moodle classroom.
