Online vs. Hybrid vs. Enhanced

100% online classes are taught completely via the internet, with no face-to-face class times. 
Hybrid courses replace some of the class meeting time with online work, requiring that students use the internet for portions of the  coursework.
Both online and hybrid courses require a high level of self direction on the part of the student. At RTC, ANGEL is the platform for these courses.  


Enhanced courses are "regular" courses that meet in the classroom. The teacher decides to utilize the web in various ways for homework or in-class work, making use of online materials on a regular or occasional basis.  Incorporating videos from youtube during your course or using Quia activities, for example, makes it enhanced.  


The tabs above give more details about ANGEL along with other sites that are often used by instructors.  They also give instructions about how to create accounts if needed. Comments, suggestions, and questions are welcome!
