classroom attendance or external coursework
Explanation:
Given the prevailing trends in education, it may refer to the distinction between a traditional course in which the student is required to attend class, and an external course in which the student works from home, and either watches a videotaped lecture or meets with an academic advisor periodically.

Suerte.
