At UCN, faculty teach using a variety of delivery modes. Each delivery mode has its own opportunities, challenges, and best practices. Whether teaching face-to-face, online asynchronously, or through live virtual sessions, it is essential to understand the characteristics of each mode to design and deliver effective, engaging learning experiences.
The attached document is intended to serve as a practical guide for faculty and staff by:
1. Defining common course delivery modes used at UCN; and
2. Providing teaching tips tailored to each mode, to support high-quality instruction and student success. The teaching tips use the AQE Standards for Course Delivery framework.
The goal is to promote clarity, consistency, and instructional excellence across all learning environments. Faculty are encouraged to review the sections relevant to their teaching assignments and consider how the suggested strategies can be adapted to meet the needs of their learners.
