Instructional Mode

In the new scheme, the following INSTRUCTIONAL MODE values will be used for courses:

Code	Value	Ask location?	Definitions
EA	Experiential Away	Ask location	Includes service learning, practica, etc.
ET	Experiential TN	Default to TN	Includes service learning, practica, etc. for students who are located within TN (e.g. on-campus service learning courses)
IS	Independent Studies	Default to TN	Includes independent and directed studies
M	Mixed	Ask location	Course is 50-79% online; includes hybrid courses; also includes student-driven combination of in-person and/or online instruction which can range from 0% to 100% online. (Reported as “hybrid” or “online” to external agencies)
O	Online (replaces “WW”)	Ask location	Course is more than 80% online.
P	In Person	Default to TN	Default value; may contain up to 49% online

For those courses needing location information (identified by “ask location” on the previous table), a drop-down menu prompt will be used during registration that would identify a student’s primary geographical location throughout the course. (TN would be a choice – not all students will be out of state.) This will address some of our State Authorization reporting needs.
