In 2015, the University Registrar led efforts to develop standard definitions for the terms “online”, “hybrid/blended”, and “in person” modes of delivery at UConn (These are listed as Instruction Mode in Student Administration).  These terms are now used in Student Administration to distinguish whether student contact hours occur in person, online, or in a combination of the two. In addition, other modes of instruction have been developed to help students and faculty better understand and communicate course modalities.
