What are our Modes of Learning?
Teaching and learning at SUNY Empire uses a vast array of instructional modes in ways that best suit students’ needs and course content. Some instructional modes are location-based and require pre-scheduled in-person meetings, whereas others depend on different tools and technologies. To promote clear communication and avoid registration errors, the college community uses a common vocabulary to describe its instructional modes as linked below, including the expectations and requirements for faculty-student engagement associated with each mode. Students can find current information about modes of instruction for each course section in the term guide. The community should regard this compilation as a living document that should be widely disseminated, frequently reviewed, and regularly updated.
