Hybrid Course Design

Going hybrid is also simply going online MORE: how do you create engagement?

5 High Impact Teaching Strategies that Work Well with Hybrid

  1. Flipping the Classroom
    • Put lectures online – just audio (with a transcript available) if that is easier. Make them short >7 min. The Fast Capture Studios in our Verde and Prescott Centers for Learning & Innovation (CLI) are available for making high quality video/audio content, and include a lightboard (CLI–Verde).
    • Flipping content = make an assignment in response to the content prior to class meeting.
    • Prioritize the best use of in-class time and keep those activities for days the class meets in person.
  2. Problem-Based Learning
  3. Project-Based Learning
  4. Community-Based Learning (including service-learning and experiential learning such as internships/clinicals)
  5. Learning Communities

Additional Strategies

  • Use interactive video embedded in quizzes (combines instructional material with a practice activity/low-stakes assessment).
  • Flip the discussion board (Christina).
  • Poll students to ask for what they’d like to discuss in person.
  • Share a roundup of the muddy points and successes.
  • Offer optional synchronous Zoom meetings and online office hours.
