The University of Toledo Definitions for DL and WA courses are as follows:
Distance learning* (DL) course--in an online course the student and instructor are separated by distance and connected via technology (Web, CD-ROM, ISDN lines, IP Video) for at least 70% of the course content and course interaction.
Web assisted (WA) course--a Web assisted course is taught in the traditional (face to face) classroom setting and utilizes the Web to enhance delivery of the course content.
At The University of Toledo, faculty are able to focus on instruction and learning outcomes because Online Learning* provides comprehensive service, support, and development.
Using a team-based approach, staff within the Online Learning Design Center assist faculty in many areas of the design and development phase.
