Delivery Methods for Instruction
Gila Community College offers courses in a variety of delivery methods to accommodate the needs of our diverse student population. Course notes will provide additional details for any courses not held in person.
Delivery Method | Description |
In Person | Classes are held in a classroom at specific days and times |
Online/Web | An online class is completely virtual and does not have a designated class day or time. Students are expected to login to their BrightSpace account at least once a week for attendance and to meet exam and assignment deadlines. Instructors in online classes provide regular interaction and support through email, discussion forums, and assignment feedback. |
Live-Synchronous | Classes are held virtually, either via Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, at specific days and times. |
DHA “Designated Hours as Assigned” | This designation is for classes that do not have a specific class time. This is commonly used for labs and externships. The instructor will notify students at the first class if there are required hours outside of the regular class time. |
Hybrid | Hybrid courses are a combination of online and in-person delivery methods. |
