How to Plan Your Hybrid Course
The success of hybrid/blended learning initiative demands institutional commitment involving leadership at every level in the institution including senior executives, college deans, department chairs, faculty, and support staff. With the support, and coordination with the leadership, the instructor can start planning the design process.
The planning process starts by navigating the resources available in the institution to support the design process. These include:
- Technology infrastructure
- Training opportunities or professional development
- Technical help desk
- Instructional design support
- Learning management system
- Integrated media production services
- Time before delivery
