Thinking About OptionsHybrid Delivery

What is a hybrid course?

We would like you to get into groups of 3-4 people, take 3 minutes to create a collaborative definition of a hybrid course.

A hybrid course reduces traditional seat time by combining online learning away

from the classroom and on-campus learning in the classroom.

• Thoughtful integration of face-to-face and technology mediated learning

• Fundamentally rethinking the course design to optimize student engagement

• Restructuring and replacing traditional class contact hours

• Optimizing technology resources by not adding an additional expensive layer
