25 DENVER SEMINARY COURSE TYPES Denver Seminary offers three distinct types of courses: Online, On Campus, and Hybrid. Ensuring that Seminary's renowned education is accessible to learners around the world, students are able to choose the course method that work best for them. All courses offer a vibrant student experience, with faculty and students building relationships to last a lifetime. Denver Seminary courses provide an education built on the foundation of biblical authority so that men and women leave prepared to participate in the mission of God and engage the needs of the world. Online: While offering incredible flexibility, Denver Seminary online courses are not entirely at-your-own-pace. They require weekly engagement within the online classroom, along with attention to all assignment deadlines. Students in Denver Seminary online courses will need to have regular and reliable access to a computer, internet connection, and necessary software in order to participate in course learning. • Asynchronous Online Courses: Asynchronous online courses are designed to accommodate a student's busy life, providing the highest degree of online flexibility. These semester long courses run with a weekly rhythm of about 50% media and 50% interactive learning activities students. Students view instructional material any time they choose during the week. With no required real-time interactions with an instructor, students learn and participate in learning activities in an asynchronous format. • Live Courses (Synchronous Online Courses): Allowing students to learn from their own location, these courses are offered via video conferencing, with a required weekly day and time schedule. Live courses provide online students with real-time live interaction with their professors and peers. • Blended: Blended courses are online courses that incorporate both asynchronous learning with some required synchronous elements. Most of these are language courses where students learn the basics through online videos, then meet at a scheduled day and times for a lab/active learning experience. On Campus: At our Littleton campus, courses are offered for students to learn in person with their professor on scheduled days and times. These courses offer students the traditional method of teaching while utilizing contemporary innovative teaching methods. Hybrid: Offering students more flexibility while retaining the in person learning experience, these courses include both online and on campus learning. With a reduced required time on campus, these courses combine asynchronous learning with traditional in-person learning. Hybrid courses are the primary course type in our doctoral programs and are offered at our DC campus.
