Purpose and Importance of Instruction Mode • Federal and State Reporting o IPEDS, HLC, ICHE, Federal Title IV (financial aid), U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security o Potential for loss of accreditation and financial aid penalties (IU and student)
• Bursar Billing of Tuition and Fees o Fair and accurate billing
• IUOCC – Online Class Connect • SIS – Student Class Expectations

September 2013 Updates • Coding inconsistencies for Fall 2013 – lack of shared understanding of “online” o Define “online” and “online %” (not defined in original document) o “Online All” – students cannot be bound by time or place
• Exceptions that don’t “fit” into original codes o Synchronous distance video (DO)– not “online” but still “distance” by definition o Hybrids special case (HD) – combined classroom/synchronous video – also “distance”

Coding Procedure • Determine Online %: 1. 2.
3.
Find “total sessions” = # of class meetings/contact hours Find “# online sessions” = # of class meetings/contact hours that are no longer held on campus because the instruction has been designed and delivered online, often through a course management system such as Oncourse. “Online %” = “# online sessions” / “total sessions”
• Use Flowchart and/or Percentage Chart • Latest Job Aid Available at IUOnline About Us Archives: http://iuonline.iu.edu/about/archives.shtml

Coding Procedure Online % Example A: • Class “A “ meets once per week for a full semester, plus a final exam, which is 16 “total sessions” needed to meet the course requirements for contact hours. The instructor requires the students to meet on campus for the first week, midterm week, and finals week. The remaining sessions have been designed in Oncourse, making 13 “online sessions”. The online percentage is 13/16 = 81%. When you apply this percentage in the Job Aid flowchart, the course is coded as OI – Online Interactive.
Instruction Mode
7
Coding Procedure Online % Example B: • Class “B” meets twice per week for a full semester, plus a final exam, which is 31 “total sessions” needed to meet the course requirements. Each week, one class meeting is held in the classroom, but the other class meeting materials (including the final) have been designed in Oncourse, making 16 “online sessions”. The online percentage is 16/31 = 52%. When you apply this percentage in the Job Aid flowchart, the course is coded as HY – Hybrid, Traditional. Instruction Mode

Instruction Mode
14
Fall 2013 Example 6 Current Code = “HY” Days & Times: ARR Room: ARR Class Notes: Online, ten week course. Mandatory orientation meeting 8/28 or 8/29 in EP 220, 7-8 pm. Evening exam 10/29, 30, or 31, Room TBA.
