While I was looking for some resources as to what others have thought about hybrid learning, I found this short THE article. Now while this one also talks about hybrid learning as a single stream and using the online element as the major teaching motivator and the face to face as the scaffolding to frame and guide the learning that occurs as the learner explores content on their own time. In my mind, this fits well with the multi-modal idea that I came up with about a year ago.
In my mind, this is not quite the hybrid flexibility that I think about with a parallel setup, one where a student can take the course online or off and move between the two modes at will is truly hybrid. But as there are many ways to hybridize, I’m thinking, if the chapter proposal is accepted, hybrid courses will generally be any course design that has more than one media used in its delivery.
