Are RU Online courses asynchronous or synchronous?

RU Online courses are generally asynchronous, so they do not meet at a specified time. We have students in various time zones, so your participation and interaction in your online course can occur at a convenient time for you. However, Blackboard provides synchronous capabilities which instructors may use for “live” online office hours. RU Online courses thus combine the structured learning environment of weekly classes with the flexibility of participating at days and times within the week that are convenient for students.
