Yes, this is correct-live classroom sessions with syncrhonous discussions. Thank you for your response. We are planning both synchronous and asynchronous group activities that mix the two groups (in class an on line) together. Teacher training does cover strategies to integrate groups but only in typical classroom environments. My experience thus far with this is that teachers tend to overly focus on the in class environment and neglect the online students. A complaint is that they can do one or the other but it is more difficult to try to mix them together.
