Hybrid Course Overview
What are we here to accomplish?
Goal Statement: We're here to begin the
process of defining, designing,
and developing hybrid courses that
produce significant learning.
Approach to the Goal: We will approach this goal:
- by thinking about what others have been learning about hybrid courses,
- by experiencing learning with technology so that we can draw from our own learning experiences as we build online components into our onsite courses,
- by identifying pedagogy compatible with hybridization of course outcomes,
- by constructing an action plan for hybridizing a course.
This course experience will be successful if you leave with
- tools to assess your own and students' readiness for e-learning
- an understanding of the range of characteristics associated with hybrid courses
- new or refined skills in navigating an online learning environment and in using the discussion tool
- an expanded list of ways to enhance the onsite learning environment with online learning modules, discussion, and interactive group processes
- a commitment to be involved with the hybrid cohort group and its support of hybrid course development across your campus
- a plan to build, assess, reflect, and refine a developed hybrid course
- ideas to apply within your courses that support students becoming learners who flexibly adapt to a variety of learning environments
Who is facilitating this course?
I'm Marcia Suter and the facilitator of this course. For those of you who might not know me, I've called Chemeketa my home since the '70s when I began work as an adjunct English instructor. By '81, I had joined the English program as a full-time, continuing instructor. Over the years, I strayed from my program "home" a bit, teaching also in the education and speech programs, and playing out program chair roles for English, education, and speech at various points.
In 1995, I participated in the first Summer Institute and was hooked by the promise of online technologies. Since that time, I've developed, co-developed, and taught a substantial number of online courses. I also completed a Ph. D. program, with an emphasis on Online Teaching and Learning, at Capella University, walking in the bunny slippers of an online learner. Today my position at CCC is to support staff's professional development in the use of technology to enhance the learning experience of students.
