Clarification of delivery type terms #497
Comments

Nate, as you note, he would include both. Both are declared an entirely of one kind. So I see nothing wrong with the current definitions. Clearly not blended delivery since you can't do part online and part face-to-face. |

The partner has requested changing the label from "online only" to "online". It is unfortunate that we have the inconsistency of "only" appearing in only one term:
The last two should probably be either:
or
We are somewhere in between, encoded in the labels, definitions, and the URIs. The original use of "only" was to further distinguish the two options from "blended delivery". One potential way out would be to simply add two more terms to fill in the gaps:
But that may be overkill (and potentially more confusing? Or would this make the terms clearer?). Maybe we add those two terms and drop blended delivery? Thoughts? (On a tangentially related note, shouldn't the definition be "Delivery is only via the Internet." rather than "Delivery is via the Internet only."?) |

I prefer keeping only in the title. It's clearest. So add only to In-Person.

What about the definition? |
|
Your adjustment of the definition "Delivery is via the Internet only." makes sense. Otherwise I'd make no definition changes. |
|
Because that restricts the use/definition of the term to a narrower scope, would that constitute a new URI, e.g., And if so, would we then deprecate |
|
No, we are just clarifying the original intent. Not changing anything. |

So to summarize: Remove:

Yes, and that is merely clarifying what we though was obvious...that it is this, that, or the other (i.e., combined). |

One of our partners has a case where an assessment is offered either in-person or online, but the taker must choose one or the other. I believe it is correct to instruct this partner to select both "in person" and "online only" as opposed to "blended delivery", but this is not very clear or intuitive with the current definitions/comments/etc. for the delivery vocabulary.
