Descripción
Sumario:New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a four-year polytechnic research university in the United States, utilized a participatory strategic planning process  to implement an innovative approach to the delivery modes between face-to-face and online instruction.   NJIT defines the spectrum of online and on-ground instruction integration as Converged Education. This spectrum allows students to participate face-to-face, join remotely through real-time video conferencing technology (synchronously), or watch classroom instruction asynchronously. The article opens with a general background of NJIT's approach to the new idea of converged instructional delivery.  Then, the process of defining and clarifying the terms and conceptions of the various modes to be adopted is presented.  Finally, the resulting implementation of the new policy and its reflection on course offerings is shown and discussed.
