Internal mode of delivery: course delivery is principally face to face, requiring regular attendance at a Provider or follows an agreed schedule for the purposes of supervision.
External mode of delivery – with face-to-face component: courses offered via distance education, online learning or correspondence, with compulsory attendance at classes during certain blocks of time.
External mode of delivery – with no face-to-face component: courses offered via distance education, online learning or correspondence, with no compulsory face-to-face component.
Multi-modal delivery: delivery is organised comparatively equally between internal and external modes of delivery. Where a course is delivered in more than one mode at a campus the main mode of delivery is reported.
Only report a mode of delivery for a course on campus that is offered fully or partially offshore. Courses that are offered from within Australia through distance education are not considered to be offshore courses.
