Support for Faculty Teaching Across All CWU Campuses
The Connected Classroom staff support faculty that teach across all 8 campus locations. Using interactive video conferencing technology to allow synchronous participation from remote locations, students and faculty build a community of access and opportunity. Central Washington University fosters high-impact practices, sustainability, and authentic community partnerships that are grounded in meaningful relationships across Washington State. The programs at the various CWU Campus locations are taught using a variety of modalities.
A modality is a method for delivering course content. Learner outcomes and fundamental course content are not impacted by modality. Listed below are approved modality designations.
- In-Person: In-Person classes meet on the Ellensburg campus or at one of the CWU centers. Classes have a specific meeting pattern requiring students to participate in.
- Connected Classroom/Hyflex: Connected Classroom/Hyflex courses may include any combination of two or more class modalities: in-person, hybrid, or real-time online (synchronous). All required or optional course meeting times will be listed in the schedule.
- Hybrid: Hybrid courses contain a combination of required in-person meetings (on the Ellensburg campus or at one of the CWU centers) and online components (real-time online meetings and/or asynchronous content). Required meeting times for all face-to-face in-person and any required online meetings will be listed in the schedule. At least 50% of the course contact hours will be scheduled in-person weekly. Courses that fall below the minimum in-person guideline will need Dean or delegate approval.
