What is an online class?
Online courses totally eliminate geography as a factor in the relationship between the student and the institution. They consist entirely of online interactions: with content, the instructor, and other students. Most course activities are completed by students asynchronously (at different times), however students may be asked to meet for a class session online or in-person (e.g.: introductory course session, office hours, field trip, etc.). Online courses that require specific meeting times usually provide alternatives to students that are unable to attend sessions at specific times or places.

What is a blended/hybrid class?
"Most course activity is conducted online, but a small amount of scheduled in-person classroom or other onsite group activity events are required. Online delivery replaces all but a few required face-to-face sessions."
For example, if a course meets in-person two times per week, a blended version might meet face-to-face one time a week and move the rest of the work online.
