#Delivery Mode Screening Tool
##Introduction
This questionnaire is designed to help decide the delivery mode for a program or course. You will be asked a series of questions relating to available space, faculty, teaching priorities, and student demographics to help suggest a mode of delivery. For each question, please choose the response that best describes your situation.
