Effective Asynchronous Instructional Design in Hybrid Courses

Session 1: 10:30am-12:00pm (Friday March 01, 2024)

 

Description

Online hybrid classes with little more than commercial software and eBook assignments have a history of low retention because of passive instruction; students are not engaging with either the instructor or classmates. Research shows high-quality hybrid online teaching must include clear connections between synchronous and asynchronous learning and active/interactive learning opportunities for students to persist and succeed. With current examples from Advanced ESL and noncredit CTE classes, we will detail how to use backward design practices and planning tools that have been research-proven in high-quality hybrid adult ed courses. Session participants will leave with a planning tool for hybrid classes and concrete examples of proven methods to incorporate directly into courses with asynchronous components.
