Completion requirements

8. Group work
F2F: Since students are physically located in the same place at the same time, a face-to-face course is adequate for a group work. Class time can be used for this collaboration and work can be continued among the students after the class is over through scheduled meetings.
Online: Online courses also often include group work. Instructors have the ability to break their online students up into teams to collaboratively work on projects and interact using the discussion tool. Because most online courses are asynchronous, however, the benefit of being in the same place at the same time does not exist in the online classroom. It is therefore up to each student in the group to keep up with the work involved and do their part.
