"Flexible" comes to mind with respect to our offerings. We offer students multiple ways to engage their learning and formation: in-person, online synchronous, and online asynchronous. This is demonstrated by our chapel offerings being both streamed and also made available ex post facto, as Mary Emily noted in her post. This is also of course true of our degree offerings. We explain the various flexible offerings on our website: distance program and residential program

In many individual online classes, professors are offering multiple modes of engaging the content and community. This is the language I use with respect to different options for engaging course community in my Introduction to the New Testament syllabus: "Learning happens in community. For residential students, community engagement primarily comes in the form of attending weekly classes. For distance students, community engagement primarily comes in the form of forum participation or synchronous “Book Club” meetings. On many occasions there will be short assignments to be completed before offering your forum post or attending Book Club (for distance students) or coming to class (for residential students)."
