Description: At NSU, teaching "online" use to mean teaching in an asynchronous format versus "ground" or “on-campus” which meant teaching face-to-face in a classroom. COVID required us to reconsider how we taught our courses which oftentimes meant teaching online and on-campus together, synchronously. Since COVID is no longer a constraint, colleges have reverted back to the previous course classifications. However, we need to consider the value of synchronous instruction for online courses.

Learning Outcomes:
1. Identify current NSU teaching modes.
2. Describe the potential of synchronicity toward learning outcomes.
3. Appreciate the interest in creating a synchronous online mode.
4. Discuss the logistical ramifications.
