Hybrid Course

In hybrid courses, a significant portion of traditional face-to-face class time is replaced by online activities. These courses carefully integrate online and face-to-face activities using the best aspects of both environments to help meet the learning objectives. For example, a face-to-face course that meets three (3) times per week might opt to meet once per week, substituting the other class meetings for online activities and research. Students may be required to prepare a deliverable during the online portion of the course and/or be asked to participate in synchronous or asynchronous activities.
