Courses taught in hybrid mode cater to both online and in-person students. Teaching two different cohorts can be challenging and, due to technological constraints, a careful re-design and adjustment of learning activities are often required.
Dr May Lim (School of Chemical Engineering) and Denise Hantel (School of Humanities & Languages) participated in this year’s Hybrid Learning Mode Pilot conducted by the PVCESE. They designed and tested a range of learning activities for courses in their respective disciplines to gain a better understanding of which activities are most suitable for the hybrid classroom.
In this Connection Series Workshop, participants will have the opportunity to experience some of these learning activities from the student perspective and gain some insight into the benefits and challenges of the hybrid learning mode.
