Format

Schedule and format at Idaho State University

• ISU designates online courses as:
• – AO (Asynchronous Online): no set time or place for course activities.
• – SO (Synchronous Online): requires scheduled meeting times (no physical location).
• – OL (Mostly Online): asynchronous delivery, but allows up to five required face-to-face meetings, with details in course syllabi.
• All ISU eISU (“electronic ISU”) courses must be coded for scheduling as:
• – AO = Asynchronous (no time/place requirement)
• – OL = Mostly Online (up to five face-to-face meetings allowed)
• Days, times, and room assignments are intentionally left blank in scheduling worksheets.
• General definitions of course format at ISU (broader than nursing, but applicable contextually):
• – AO courses offer anytime access; SO courses meet at scheduled times; BL (blended) courses combine synchronous and asynchronous elements.
• Specific to nursing graduate certificates (Nursing Education and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner): delivery options include both AO and SO formats (i.e., asynchronous and synchronous online).
