Instructor:
John Fritz, Assistant VP of Instructional Technology & New Media, University of Baltimore County (UMBC)

Description:
Participants will learn the principles of good course design and apply them to a traditional face-to-face course to be delivered as a hybrid (part online, part F2F) course. Using a modified version of UMBC's own workshop, Fritz will provide demonstrations of effective practices and active learning as well as help instructors identify the pedagogical problems hybrid delivery can solve and the new learning opportunities it can create.

John Fritz has given permission to Marilyn Eggers in the Office of Educational Effectiveness to repeat the workshop, if enough interest is generated.

Read L. Dee Fink's "A Self-Directed Guide to Designing Courses for Significant Learning" (33 pages).

•  
  • Alternately, you can read Fink's "Integrated Course Design," a six- page summary, available at the IDEA Center at Kansas State University.
  • Note: The 33-page version is more "interactive" but the six-page summary gives you a good overview of Fink's thesis
