Hybrid courses blend face-to-face instruction with Internet instruction and activities, usually resulting in a reduced number of classroom meetings. Basic computer skills are needed, as is regular Internet access.  Many educators believe that this format blends the best of both “worlds”.  Here are some resources to get you started in developing a hybrid course.  Contact the CTLT for one-on-one assistance at 480-423-6703.

The Ocotillo group is the technology research, development and users' group at Maricopa Community Colleges.  The Hybrid course has been extensively explored over the last two years.  This link to the web site is full of articles and other resources.  http://zircon.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/hybrids/

Attached are some notes from the presentation on 3/30/07 by the guru of Hybrid Teaching and Learning at MCCCD -  Polly Miller - and an audio podcast of her presentation.  Here is the link to the EMCC web site on E-Learning, which includes information on their strategic approach to the adoption of e-learning:  https://www.estrellamountain.edu/ctl/el_programDevelopment.asp
