  =Modes of Delivery = (adapted from Davies, 2006)

There are various forms or modes in which intensive teaching can take place. Each format has implications for teaching, learning and design. Below we have outlined several types that are referenced in the literature. 
 * 1) //**Block**// modes bring students and teacher(s) together for large chunks of time such as day-long, weekend-long, and week-long modes. In some cases there may be more than one gathering.
 * 2) **//Sporadic//** modes bring students and teacher(s) together for shorter periods of time contact but over a longer timeframe. For example: 15 days or 6-8 weeks).
 * 3) //**Mixed**// modes bring students and teacher(s) together over weekends and evenings, for example, for an extended period of time.
 * 4) //**Sandwich**// modes bookend (i.e., at the start of and end of a 12-week semester) face-to-face time between students and teacher(s) with shorter periods of traditional contact time in between to facilitate consolidation and reflection.
