Event Overview
This 3-session workshop will walk participants through the hybrid-flexible course design in a manner that will best prepare them to create courses that they can teach entirely face-to-face, entirely synchronously remotely, and entirely asynchronously in response to their and their students' needs.
Each session will be 1.5 hours. The first session will introduce what hybrid flexible teaching and learning looks like. This is preceded by an activity that has participants identify an inventory of actions and practices that they may already be doing. The second session will focus on creating the structure of a hybrid flexible course which is also preceded by participants completing a portion of a course map to get them thinking about such structures. The final session will focus on the actual executing and teaching hybrid flexible courses and what are the challenges and opportunities that it presents.
Session Outcomes:
- Describe the hybrid flexible course design process
- Develop a structure for a course that utilizes hybrid flexible course design
- Identify and determine the ideal practices for teaching a hybrid flexible course.
