Hybrid Teaching Training

To prepare you for Spring teaching, the Dean’s office requires that all faculty teaching either in-person or hybrid courses in the Spring undergo training and practice sessions including:

  • Hybrid Training: Content, Logistics and Engagement
  • Hybrid Practice Session

See information and sign-up methods below.

Hybrid Training: Content, Logistics and Engagement

Hybrid Teaching Training will help faculty identify what content and logistics look like in a HyFlex learning environment and what challenges and opportunities rest in this teaching style for Spring 2021. It will explore which modes of digital content delivery work best for their teaching style and content type (Powerpoints, writing on the board, docucam, Google Doc, Atl Tab, etc.). Additionally, it will address logistical differences and limitations presented by the HyFlex classroom (physical distancing, audio, sharing of materials, communication etc.) and how to engage students in this new course setting.
