Colloquium – A series of lectures or seminars convened by a coordinator but featuring different
speakers or leaders.
Conference – A general type of meeting, usually of one or more days’ duration, attended by a
fairly large number of people. The emphasis is on prepared presentations by authoritative speakers, although division into smaller group sessions for discussion purposes is often a related activity.
Continuing Education Unit (CEU) – Ten contact hours of participation in an organized
continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction and
qualified instruction.
Individualized Method of Learning – A method of learning which leads the learner to control
the rate of his/her progress in learning. The communication method is correspondence
(mail), computer, programmed text or teaching machine, independent learning on
campus.
Institute – Similar to a conference but more tightly structured. Emphasis on providing
instruction in principles and techniques. Institute program may have certain continuity,
meeting on a yearly basis for example.
Lecture – A carefully prepared oral presentation of a subject by an expert.
Seminar – A small group of people with the primary emphasis on discussion under a leader or
resource person or persons. In continuing higher education, a seminar is more likely to
be a one-time offering, although it may continue for several days.
Short course – A sequential offering, as a rule under a single instructor, meeting on a regular
basis for a stipulated number of class sessions over a short period of time (one to three
weeks, etc.). The non-credit course may resemble the credit course in everything but the
awarding of credit. It may also be more informal and more flexible in its approach in
order to meet the needs of student.
Symposium/Forum – Similar to conference / Institute. Audience participation.
Tutorial or Primer – A brief remedial exposition of a subject in order to provide a foundation
for more in-depth learning; generally delivered by an expert in the lecture mode.
Workshop – Usually meets for a continuous period of time over a period of one or more days.
The distinguishing feature of the workshop is that it combines instruction with laboratory
or experiential activity for the participant. The emphasis is more likely to be on skill
training than on general principles.
Local – Majority of attendees from within one hour travel time.
Regional – At least some attendees come from outside the state or province.
National – At least some attendees come from beyond the region.
