Attached concurrence from Operations and Business Analytics Department Chair, Dr. James Hill.
The way that the course may be taught on the regional campuses is that one instructor will teach synchronously in one location (say Mansfield), then the students for another campus, say Marion, would be in a classroom, and the instructor would have Zoom meetings with the on campus students in both locations. There could even be some completely online students via Zoom (but not too frequently). There could be up to 4 campuses sharing an instructor in this manner.
