Definitions for Web-Based Courses
Many graduate courses at NJCU make use of the world wide web.
The Information Technology Steering Committee has adopted the following
definitions for courses that use the internet.
A. Online Course: a course delivered via the World Wide Web which
requires no face-to-face meetings.
B. Web-Enhanced Course: a course which utilizes a web based component
(e.g. WebCT) to enhance face-to-face course meetings.
C. Blended Course: a course in which course content is distributed
between online and face-to-face instruction.
Please note: Web-enhanced and blended courses may be located either
on the main campus or at off-campus sites.
