OIT and the Faculty Development Center will again sponsor a day-long Hybrid Course Design Workshop on Friday, March 7 in Engineering 023. It includes a lunch-time "Brown Bag" presentation of "learning objects" designed by faculty who have participated in previous hybrid workshops, and are now completing requirements for a one-time, $1,500 course development stipend sponsored by the Office of Summer, Winter and Special Programs (OSWSP).
Workshop participants will learn the principles of good course design and apply them to a traditional, face-to-face (F2F) course that could be delivered as a hybrid (part-online, part F2F) course. For more information, visit www.umbc.edu/oit/hybrid/training.
During lunch, faculty in the Summer 2008 Alternate Delivery Program (ADP) will present the first of two required "learning objects" that address the pedagogical problems (or opportunities) a hybrid or online course solves (or creates). A review panel of faculty who have taught online or hybrid courses will hear the presentations, which are open to the campus and will be videotaped (past presentations are also available on the Hybrid Course Design Workshop Blackboard site, and in the Teaching and Learning section of UMBC's iTunesU service). Lunch will be provided to registered participants.
These lunch-time SU2008 ADP faculty presentations are a great way to see how faculty apply their training in online or hybrid course redesign approaches.
Note: Currently registered Hybrid workshop participants do NOT need to register for this brown bag. It is included as part of the workshop.
