Overview:
Hybrid learning models are one of the fastest growing delivery modes in higher education. The growth of hybrid models has been fueled in large part by students with differing technology comfort levels, institutions with physical space constraints, and an increase in the demand for more scheduling options.
In order to successfully launch a hybrid learning initiative, institutions must have several components in place: a hybrid (re)design faculty development program, technical support of instructional technologies, and a sound institutional implementation plan. Join us online to learn how to address each of these critical components and others, including:
- An overview of the hybrid model and the 21st century learner
- Guidelines and best practices for institutional implementation: marketing to students, student readiness, and quality assurance
- A ready-to-use hybrid redesign program
Why You Should Attend
Faculty developers, instructional designers, e-learning coordinators, faculty members, deans, administrators, and instructional technologists will learn to:
- Articulate the benefits of a hybrid learning instructional delivery model
- Identify the various components of a successful faculty development (re)design program
- Identify best practices and considerations for developing an institutional hybrid learning implementation plan
