Purpose
Would you like to mix online and in-person teaching methods to create a single course that takes advantage of what both have to offer?
The teaching alone is only part of the difficulty. There is also knowing what to call your course (blended, hybrid, or something else?). Moreover, how do you seamlessly sew together the technologies that will make your course a great experience for yourself and your students?
This summer institute will help you pull together the pedagogies, the technologies, and the university processes necessary to create a course that mixes online and in-person teaching in a way that works for you.
In this three-week experience, you will engage in a blended/hybrid schedule that includes asynchronous online work and weekly in-person sessions to model the importance of designing course content that bridges both learning environments. Together, we will focus on strategies for modality specific student engagement and assessment, as well as tips for integrating learning across spaces, empowering you to cultivate an interactive and seamless learning experience for your students. Key activities will include crafting a detailed syllabus that integrates both face-to-face and online components, developing a course map that outlines strategies tailored specifically to each modality, and populating Brightspace with course content.
There may be an opportunity to share information with other colleagues in the fall semester (perhaps as a mentor or in a showcase-style event).

- Institute begins on Monday, May 19 with asynchronous work in Brightspace, which will continue throughout the three-week institute.
