Hybrid Courses: Faculty Resources Advantages New teaching opportunities: "The hybrid took something I always knew was possible and let me do it." Faculty can teach using a variety of online and in-class teaching strategies, which make it possible to achieve course goals and objectives more effectively. The hybrid model allows faculty to develop solutions to course problems and to incorporate new types of interactive and independent learning activities that were not possible in traditional courses. Student engagement: "In the online classroom, there is no place to hide…. Instructors report that they feel more connected with their students and are able to get to know them better since they communicate both online and face-to-face. Increased student learning: "My students have done better than I've ever seen; they are motivated, enthused and doing their best work." Faculty believe that their students learn more in the hybrid format than they do in traditional class sections. Challenges

Tips for Overcoming Online Discussion Board Challenges Discussion boards are often viewed as the heart of online courses, and for good reason: the students can interact with one another 24/7, sharing, debating, and offering ideas, insights, suggestions, and information that stimulate the learning process. Yet challenges do happen in discussion, and these can be formidable. Left alone, they can quickly limit the effectiveness of any discussion and create problems throughout the online course. If you are having problems in your discussion, there’s a good chance one or more of the following suggestions will help: Conflict in the discussion: It would be wonderful if the discussion went as planned with each student jumping in with substantive and polite comments, but that is not the real world of the online course. Personal attacks and bullying: These can be an escalation of conflict, the result of students’ beliefs (religious, philosophical, etc.), or a personality trait. Solution: Post examples of substantive posts.

Teaching online presents challenges by Pat Kossan and Anne Ryman - Dec. 14, 2011 11:29 PM The Arizona Republic Kristina Valles' day starts like that of any worker in a cubicle: She arrives, dons a telephone headset and starts answering e-mails. The difference is that Valles is a math teacher in the latest educational experiment to sweep the states: online learning. Valles works at Primavera Online High School. She has no textbooks, no work sheets to copy, no homeroom, no tired feet at the end of the day. She teaches virtual math classes on a computer screen twice a day, out of a Chandler office. Teachers in online classes do many of the same things their counterparts do in the traditional classroom: create lessons on key concepts, motivate students to learn grade-level skills and help struggling students. But there are differences. Those differences have prompted some states to require special training for online teachers. In 2007, the Office of the Arizona Auditor General investigated the state's 14 online schools.

6 Factors to Consider when Planning Online Distance Learning Programs in Higher Education (Levy) Dennis Bancroft, Director of Oscail, the National Distance Education Centre in Dublin, Ireland, when interviewed by Savrock (2001), identified student support as one of three critical areas (the others being curriculum and technology) needed to maintain a successful ODL program. Students who are not prepared for the online environment can have a negative impact on other students and the instructor in the online classroom (Fink, 2002). Most instructors will not be able to tell students why a file is not downloading, or how to access online tutoring or library resources, or how to extend the time limit to take a test, making student access to orientation and support even more critical. Lynch (2001) concluded that student orientation to online courses and student socialization with other online students greatly affected their success in the course. Copyright law is a major area of law that affects higher educational institutions. Change in Organizational Structure Conclusion References
