Hybrid Learning: Course Design and Faculty Development

March 24, 2011

Horizontal Tabs

Overview

Identify guidelines for implementing hybrid learning at your institution, including the creation of an instructional (re)design model and a successful faculty development program.

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 Academic Impressions in this archived webcast to learn how to address each of these critical components and others. Discussion topics will include:

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

TARGET AUDIENCE

Faculty developers, instructional designers and technologists, and e-learning administrators at the developmental stages of adopting hybrid learning.

HYBRID LEARNING CHECKLIST

You will leave this archived webcast with a hybrid learning (re)design process checklist, which will incorporate steps to effectively map your course and ensure quality assurance and alignment standards.

What Others Are Saying

"This Web conference not only answered many questions I had related to hybrid learning but gave me practical, easy-to-follow tools to assist in developing a blended course." -Anonymous participant

"The incorporation of usable models for assessment and planning, whether it be other institutions or professional research organizations, gives credence to presenters' expertise on the subject. Meta-analysis, however small, is always beneficial to someone such as myself who is in the somewhat excruciating but meaningful process of aligning a faculty development department with meeting WASC accreditation criteria for creating a "culture of evidence" ... and attempting to bridge the gaps that exist in faculty and student preparation, support, assessment, capacity, and infrastructure." -Lisa Rodriguez, Ph.D., Director and Assistant Professor, The Center for Teaching and Learning, University of La Verne
