This practical handbook for designing and teaching hybrid or blended courses focuses on outcomes-based practice. It reflects the author’s experience of having taught over 70 hybrid courses, and having worked for three years in the Learning Technology Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a center that is recognized as a leader in the field of hybrid course design. Jay Caulfield defines hybrid courses as ones where not only is face time replaced to varying degrees by online learning, but also by experiential learning that takes place in the community or within an organization with or without the presence of a teacher; and as a pedagogy that places the primary responsibility of learning on the learner, with the teacher’s primary role being to create opportunities and environments that foster independent and collaborative student learning. Starting with a brief review of the relevant theory – such as andragogy, inquiry-based learning, experiential learning and theories that specifically relate to distance education – she addresses the practicalities of planning a hybrid course, taking into account class characteristics such as size, demographics, subject matter, learning outcomes, and time available. She offers criteria for determining the appropriate mix of face-to-face, online, and experiential components for a course, and guidance on creating social presence online.The section on designing and teaching in the hybrid environment covers such key elements as promoting and managing discussion, using small groups, creating opportunities for student feedback, and ensuring that students’ learning expectations are met. A concluding section of interviews with students and teachers offers a rich vein of tips and ideas.

The work of teachers is not just to teach. We are also responsible for the basic needs of students. Helping students eat and live, and also helping them find the tools they need to reflect on the present moment. This is exactly in keeping with Paulo Freire's insistence that critical pedagogy be focused on helping students read their world; but more and more, we must together reckon with that world. Teaching must be an act of imagination, hope, and possibility. Education must be a practice done with hearts as much as heads, with hands as much as books. Care has to be at the center of this work.For the past ten years, Hybrid Pedagogy has worked to help craft a theory of teaching and learning in and around digital spaces, not by imagining what that work might look like, but by doing, asking after, changing, and doing again. Since 2011, Hybrid Pedagogy has published over 400 articles from more than 200 authors focused in and around the emerging field of critical digital pedagogy. A selection of those articles are gathered here. This is the first peer-reviewed publication centered on the theory and practice of critical digital pedagogy. The collection represents a wide cross-section of both academic and non-academic culture and features articles by women, Black people, indigenous people, Chicanx and Latinx writers, disabled people, queer people, and other underrepresented populations. The goal is to provide evidence for the extraordinary work being done by teachers, librarians, instructional designers, graduate students, technologists, and more - work which advances the study and the praxis of critical digital pedagogy.

Technology-assisted instruction is changing how faculty and students interact. This is resulting in dramatic changes in the way instruction is designed and delivered. Many universities offer both face-to-face and online courses. In addition, universities are experimenting with an alternative delivery modality, referred to as hybrid or blended courses. A hybrid course is one in which a significant portion of the learning activities have been moved online. Universities are discovering that when faculty members convert a course to the hybrid format using proper instructional design methodology, not only does their redesigned course improve but their traditional courses also improve. When considering this new delivery modality, faculty need to recognize that teaching online is qualitatively different from teaching face-to-face. The Hybrid Professional Development Program described in this paper focuses on offering faculty a situated experience in which they can gain the perspective of an online instructor. This professional-development program consists of five stages: orientation to hybrid instruction; design course; develop course; teach course; evaluate, revise, and improve course. The overall goal is to provide participants with knowledge of hybrid instruction and the skills necessary to design or teach a hybrid course. Today's technologies offer faculty an opportunity to transform their teaching from presenting information to facilitating a learning experience for their students. The program challenges faculty at the University of Delaware to reflect on how they are teaching and whether it is the best way to deliver content. The experience of this program should result in greater student, faculty, and university satisfaction with the teaching/learning process.

Blended synchronous learning - where remote students participate in face-to-face classes by means of rich-media synchronous technologies such as video conferencing, web conferencing and virtual worlds - is an emerging phenomenon in education. More and more teachers are attempting to teach in this challenging mode, but without any systematic research evidence to help guide their blended synchronous learning practices. The Blended Synchronous Learning Handbook is a definitive resource that addresses this issue. It includes a Blended Synchronous Learning Design Framework that offers pedagogical, technological and logistical recommendations for teachers attempting to design and implement blended synchronous learning lessons. It also includes a Rich-Media Synchronous Technology Capabilities Framework to support the selection of technologies for different types of learning activities, as well as a review of relevant literature, a summary of the Blended Synchronous Learning Scoping Study, detailed reports of seven blended synchronous learning case studies, and an in-depth cross case analysis to underpin the recommendations that are drawn.

From the bestselling author of What the Best College Teachers Do, the story of a new breed of amazingly innovative courses that inspire students and improve learning Decades of research have produced profound insights into how student learning and motivation can be unleashed—and it’s not through technology or even the best of lectures. In Super Courses, education expert and bestselling author Ken Bain tells the fascinating story of enterprising college, graduate school, and high school teachers who are using evidence-based approaches to spark deeper levels of learning, critical thinking, and creativity—whether teaching online, in class, or in the field. Visiting schools across the United States as well as in China and Singapore, Bain, working with his longtime collaborator, Marsha Marshall Bain, uncovers super courses throughout the humanities and sciences. At the University of Virginia, undergrads contemplate the big questions that drove Tolstoy—by working with juveniles at a maximum-security correctional facility. Harvard physics students learn about the universe not through lectures but from their peers in a class where even reading is a social event. And students at a Dallas high school use dance to develop growth mindsets—and many of them go on to top colleges, including Juilliard. Bain defines these as super courses because they all use powerful researched-based elements to build a “natural critical learning environment” that fosters intrinsic motivation, self-directed learning, and self-reflective reasoning. Complete with sample syllabi, the book shows teachers how they can build their own super courses. The story of a hugely important breakthrough in education, Super Courses reveals how these classes can help students reach their full potential, equip them to lead happy and productive lives, and meet the world’s complex challenges.

Hybrid learning, an emerging, innovative method that integrates online technology into traditional classrooms, has the potential to provide pedagogical richness, increase active learning, foster collaboration, and support learner-centred strategies. However, many teacher educators who are used to teaching in traditional classrooms find it difficult to move beyond their comfort zone. To provide them with the much-needed directions, this book offers clear guidance on several important aspects of designing a hybrid course, including its theoretical foundations, learning environment, implementation procedures and assessment. In addition, changing roles and responsibilities of instructors and students in hybrid courses are discussed, and strategies to create online community are highlighted. This book offers not only the possibility of recapturing the traditional values of teacher education, but a careful analysis of what educators could expect from "hybrid learning". It covers the research, but also draws on the experiences of practitioners to address what may appear to be daunting challenges. The primary audience for this book is faculty in teacher education who are struggling to find the time and means to engage their students in meaningful learning activities. A wider audience, however, will find elements of pertinent, important, and timely information on hybrid learning. Certainly, faculty in all disciplines in higher education who are trying to integrate the Internet and communications technology into their courses will also find the book of considerable value. This book can be used by practitioners as a professional guide, or by researchers as a reference.
