Definitions:

 

Distributive (Web Enhanced) Courses use technology in concert with face-to-face classes.

 Hybrid (Blended) Courses have a percentage of the content delivered/taught in Blackboard, the supported course management system and a percentage of the content delivered/taught face-to-face.
