Hybrid, or blended, classrooms are expanding on campuses across the United States (and internationally). Intentionally combining in-class instruction with online activities not only aids student learning, it also provides more self-directed, technology-mediated learning experiences for students who will incorporate technology into their professional lives post-college.
In addition to explaining and defining the phenomenon of hybrid teaching and learning, this volume answers:
• What is hybrid teaching and learning?
• How does it promote student learning?
• Why should faculty and administrators consider it?
• How are its components different from traditional classrooms?
• What are the best practices of hybrid course design?
• How can instructors incorporate accessibility into their hybrid courses?
• What models can be used to train faculty as hybrid teachers?
• Where is it being practiced?
• How can institutions best prepare students for and promote their success in hybrid courses?
• Who should be involved in implementing and supporting these initiatives at the institutional level?
This is the 149th volume of this Jossey-Bass higher education series. It offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.
