16 Describe how the current delivery mode of the program effectively meets students’ needs. How are the delivery decisions made?
The CITE and Cybersecurity courses are delivered in-person, online, and hybrid. As uncontrollable events arise – like Covid 19 – we can quickly move to hybrid online delivery of courses. Two thirds of our courses were successfully delivered online, both synchronously and asynchronously during Covid. One third of our courses stayed face-to-face and online simultaneously, with some spacing adjustments in the classroom and labs. These course delivery methods give the students the greatest flexibility. Our students overwhelmingly prefer face-to-face delivery versus online.
Delivery methods are determined by the instructors, department chair, and desires of the students.
