What terms can I use to distinguish both online and in-person classes?

I'm trying to come up with two different words to describe:

  • a group of students attending an online course;
  • a group of students attending an in-person course.

Is it possible to use something like: "online class" and "in-person class"?


Solution 1:

You could use classroom-based course and web-based course to make the distinction. See this company's website which lists these two types side-by-side.

The two groups of students could then be described as the classroom-based class and web-based class.
