Online courses utilize Mid's online learning management system called Moodle, and include discussion boards, online quizzes, and other forms of online content. These courses most closely resemble popular streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, for example, you'll need a device and internet access, you won't need to leave your house, and you can tune in anytime that's convenient for your schedule.

These courses take place on specific days and times using real-time virtual technologies, like Zoom. You'll still utilize Moodle for learning experiences, but you'll also participate in real-time discussions with classmates and instructors. Think of these courses like a TV show or livestream, you'll need a device and internet access, and while you won't need to leave your house, you'll need to tune in at a specific time.

ITV involves the use of large video monitors, microphones, and special equipment to connect two or more physical locations. These courses take place on specific days and times, and you'll be required to attend in-person at a specified location. You'll use technology, such as Moodle, to access learning materials, and you'll also participate in real-time discussions with classmates and instructors who may be in the classroom with you or viewed virtually at another location.
