Examples of Successful Hybrid Classes
Research suggests that when facilitated effectively, online education can not only match, but also surpass traditional face-to-face learning (Means et al., 2010). The success of a hybrid class depends both on the quality of the design and the effectiveness of its delivery; do we knwo our learners, and have a clear and measurable learning objective? Are the learning materials organized ligically? And, is the design executed effectively as planned?
More successful examples will be added from 麻豆破解版 State University faculty in the future; for now we are sharing the following successful hybrid classes from the University of Central Florida. Adopted from .

PHH 3700 鈥� American Philosophy
Dr. Nancy Stanlick
College of Arts & Humanities, Philosophy Department
Third year undergraduate course
American philosophy is a thematic and chronological survey of philosophical, religious,
and scientific developments in American thought, with primary focus on the American
spirit of individualism and reform. It is a survey course and includes many figures
and ideas in the history of American philosophy. American philosophy involves analysis
of some major problems of philosophy as well as a historically arranged look at developments
in and of American thought from the Colonial era to the present. The texts for the
course focus on the themes of optimism, individualism, and reform in ethical, metaphysical,
epistemological, and social/political contexts. There is potential disagreement surrounding
the themes, and it is certainly possible to argue that American philosophy is NOT
characterized specifically by those three things. The position of the editors and
authors of the texts, however, is that it is possible to understand the history and
problems of American philosophy through these three (as well as other) concepts.

Dr. Putchinski recently retired. One of the management courses she taught was an introduction
to the theory and practice of managing formal organizations, including planning, organization
theory, human behavior and control. Dr. Putchinski used several strategies to make
sure her students came to class prepared so classroom time could be used to expand
on the content and explore examples.
