  3. Hybrid Course Definition • Definition • Courses where a significant amount of learning has been moved online making it possible to reduce the amount of time spent in class • Partially online • Partially face-to-face • Terminology • Hybrid • Blended • Mixed-mode

  4. Basic Hybrid Concept • Students spend more time working individually and collaboratively on assignments, projects, and activities • Faculty spend less time lecturing and more time reviewing and evaluating student work and guiding and interacting with students

  5. Hybrid Course Description • Hybrid courses are: • NOT simply traditional classes with a Web site • Not web-enhanced • Online time replaces some classroom time • NOT traditional “distance education” courses • Not entirely online • Face-to-face classroom meetings • NOT all alike • Many different formats and schedules are possible • NOT just transferring information to the Web • Involves an extensive course redesign

  6. Teaching & Learning Benefits • More learning, understanding, and retention • Faculty consistently report students learn more • University of Central Florida research on grades • More interaction and discussion • Students are more engaged • More student and learning centered • Less listening and more active learning • More hands-on student involvement with learning

  7. Student Benefits • Different learning styles accommodated • Greater convenience • Any time/anywhere learning opportunities • Addresses commuting, parking, and time concerns

  8. Potential Institutional Benefits • Accommodate more students without building more classrooms • Fewer class meetings Schedule more courses in same space • Reach new student markets • Weekend and evening degree programs • Less commuting for working adults

  9. Students and Faculty Agree • Faculty & students like hybrid courses • According to our surveys • 100% of faculty Hybrid Project participants would teach hybrid again • 90% of students say that they would recommend hybrid courses to others

  10. Sample Hybrid Course • Course: Site and the Public Space • Upper-level undergraduate course • Student majors included Visual Art, Architecture, and Urban Planning • 15 students • 1/3 online • 2/3 face-to-face
