- "Asynchronous" indicates that students can participate at different times. This could be an online paper to the instructor or a list of homework problems.
- "Synchronous" indicates that students need to participate at the same time. This could be in-person or with a live Zoom conference.
Click "Time" below to access activities sorted this way.
Other Classifications
Because of advances in computing power and live video, we do not need to classify activities as either in-person and online. Please click each classification below to learn how we distinguish between them!
- "Individual" indicates that students can participate on their own.
- "With Others" indicates that students must work with other students or an instructor on the activity.
- "Low-stakes" indicates that the activity for practice, knowledge checks, or learning itself. They do not compose a significant portion of the grade.
- "High-stakes" activities include a formal assessment, such as a mid-term, final, research paper, or final project.
This indicates the main teaching goal behind the activity.
