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. Using hybrid delivery to demonstrate best practices of hybrid teaching, this workshop is open to any UMBC instructor considering teaching a hybrid course in any semester. The workshop will also help meet the SU2008 requirements for a one-time course-redesign stipend through the Alternate Delivery Program (ADP), which is sponsored by the Office of Summer, Winter, and Special Programs (OSWSP).

Pre-requisites

• Bring a printed copy of your current syllabus for the course you plan to redesign.
• Complete the “Planning Questions for Hybrid Delivery” assignment on the Hybrid Workshop Bb site and bring a copy to the workshop (Show me: where to go | what to do).
• Read L. Dee Fink’s A Self Directed Guide to Designing Courses for Significant Learning (33 pages) available on the UMBC Hybrid Course Design Blackboard site (you can “self enroll”) or directly at: http://www.ou.edu/idp/significant/selfdirected1.pdf
  • Alternately, you can read Fink's 6-page summary available at the IDEA Center at Kansas State University. The 33-page version is more "interactive" but the 6-page summary gives you a good overview of Fink's thesis.
