Course Delivery Methods
York Technical College offers courses in a variety of methods for a more flexible learning experience. Explore the methods we offer below. Keep in mind that not all courses are offered in each method.
Traditional courses are in-person courses that meet on a designated campus location and require students to attend face-to-face class sessions to meet attendance requirements consistent with credit-hour expectations.
Hybrid courses are instructed using both online and face-to-face formats. In hybrid courses, a portion of the traditional face-to-face instructional time is replaced with online instruction. Hybrid courses have scheduled class meeting times throughout the term and students are expected to attend all scheduled class meeting times. The online portions of hybrid courses are conducted through the D2L learning management system.
Asynchronous online courses are delivered 100% online through the College’s learning management system, D2L/Brightspace and are taught in an instructor-led format. There are no specific meeting times or “live” session requirements. All instruction, content, materials, assessment, and communication for faculty and students occur in the online environment (LMS). Students are expected to participate regularly throughout a course, interact with their instructors and peers, and complete assignments in a chronological fashion consistent with a traditional face-to-face course.
