  Activity 8 - Sharing Your Ideas

 
           
  Outcomes    
         
    Our goals are  1) to reflect on the experience of being an online learner and 2)  to synthesize goals and plans for hybridizing a course.

During this section of  the workshop you will demonstrate accomplishment of these goals by

  • identifying insights about online learning from your online workshop experience.
     
  • building a matrix that can guide the hybridizing work you are developing for your fall course offering.
   
  Overview  
         
    In Activity 7, you explored and evaluated online learning modules.  Plus you  reviewed the WebQuest module design and considered how you might incorporate modules for topics in your own course.

Today our focus shifts to extrapolating some lessons from the experience of being an online learner and to planning the development of a hybrid course.

   
         
  Activity 8 ResourcesUse the provided resources to support your personal  reflection and the planning for your hybrid course development.    
         
  Activity 8 - Tasks    
         
    After reviewing the Activity 8 resources, complete and post the following activity tasks on the WebBoard.    
           
    Sun Bullet Activity 8A:  List 5 personal insights about online learning that will guide you as you hybridize your course.  Be specific about the actions you will take as a result of your reflection on the online learning experience.    
           
    Sun Bullet Activity 8B:  First, after reviewing "Questions for Reflection On Creating Hybrid Courses" and "Turning Your Ideas Into Actions, build a matrix that lays out a work plan for hybridizing a course.  You might also find Lucy MacDonald's planning matrix helpful.

Consider the vision you now hold for your hybrid course, how you will achieve that vision, the stages or steps you foresee, and the new knowledge or skills you may need to realize your vision. 

Second, please plan to share your hybridizing experience and your plan (and/or product)  with colleagues in your program areas.   Please let me know if you would be willing to share with other programs as well.  If so, we'll put a show on the road.
 

   
           
    Post these activity responses on WebBoard in the Conferences Activity 8A and Activity 8B respectively. 

The WebBoard will remain active until the beginning of Fall Term 04.  Please share your project progress and samples of your work for others via postings.
