Flexible Definitions

Flexible courses support teaching and learning across different places (in-person "roomers" and online "zoomers") and/or different times (synchronous, in real-time; asynchronous, on your own time). The combinations of delivery methods differ, based on campus policies and decisions, department and faculty preferences, and sometimes student choice. We have created a spreadsheet that outlines various course delivery combinations  found throughout the Cal State system. The options become more flexible as more delivery modes are offered and as more student choice is allowed.
