Onsite/Online Instructional Delivery Project

Onsite/Online is the hybrid instructional delivery system that allows instructors at any academic institution or industry nationwide to collaborate with Sinclair Community College faculty in providing manufacturing engineering technology courses.

What is the Onsite/Online Project method?
Onsite/Online features an attractive mix of independent online work for the students, including interactions between small groups at various sites with facilitator-guided hands-on activities at the students' home sites.
The hybrid delivery is intended to provide a cost effective and practical way for instructors at post-secondary institutions and manufacturing enterprises and students to work together regardless of location.
Students and instructors form a "community of practice" which evaluates the effectiveness of students' acquired skills in applying and sharing solutions to their own workplace problems. Using course management software, Onsite/Online connects students in remote locations to each other and to subject matter experts.
To facilitate implementation of the hands-on instructional materials, Onsite/Online incorporates the use of discrete web-based learning objects to facilitate online learning and provides a final "capstone" experience where students learn to design and implement a workplace-based continuous improvement project.
