What is the UD Online delivery system?
UD Online students access their courses on the Web through an easy-to-use course management system. The University of Delaware uses Sakai as the primary course management tool to deliver UD Online courses. Courses may include all or some of the following instructional delivery methods: videostreamed class lectures, video clips, audio components, guided readings, chatrooms, interactive web activities, and threaded discussions. In addition, instructors are available to assist students, according to their course policy, in person, via e-mail, or by phone. A small number of courses require scheduled virtual class meetings using a microphone and headset, videoconferencing, or are completely self-directed. These course exceptions are indicated in the course description.
