Delivery Mode Screening Tool

#Delivery Mode Screening Tool ##Introduction This questionnaire is designed to help decide the delivery mode for a program or course. To help suggest a mode of delivery, you will be asked a series of questions relating to student demographics, teaching approaches, educator resources, and physical infrastructure. For each question, please choose the response that best describes your situation.
