Bob has given his approval for some of us to pilot hybrid-type courses next semester. If you have a class you want to add an online component to and would like to be involved in this planning, let me, Jennifer, or Tanya know. We will all get together the last week of classes to write something up for the department. PS: Submission of an assignment or accessing Blackboard on a given date or by a given deadline suffices as attendance.
I'm so excited about this. I hope the reality is as good as the fantasy!
ReplyDeleteI found this Chronicle forum thread on teaching freshman comp. in the hybrid format. It has some very good tips (I especially like the idea of having the course calendar link up directly with the assignments that are due that day):

I love that, Tanya. Will you forward it to Bob? I don't think he has learned to read our blog yet.
ReplyDeleteWill do.
ReplyDeleteHere's another one that is all about the great things that you can do in an online/hybrid course that you can't do in F2F. I'll forward it to him as well.
