Alternate Delivery Program

Online & Hybrid Course Redesign Support
Special Sessions 2008

The Office of Summer, Winter & Special Programs (OSWSP) provides $1,500 "course development" funding to redesign current, face-to-face (F2F) UMBC courses for online or hybrid (part online, part F2F) delivery in a winter or summer session 2008. Instructional design and technology support are also provided by the UMBC Faculty Development Center (FDC) and Office of Information Technology (OIT).

"The class went very smoothly and students said they preferred this format for the shorter session because it gave them a very clear idea on what to focus on." Carolyn Forestiere (Political Science) WT2007 ADP Participant

Preference is given to courses which are:

• Typically in high demand during the fall/spring semesters or special sessions (as evidenced by past enrollments and student “hold lists”).
• General education courses, upper level courses or those required for a major.
• Particularly well-suited to the hybrid or online delivery format.
• Taught by faculty experienced in using Blackboard.
