Hybrid instruction Considerations

"With fewer in-seat sessions than a traditional face-to-face class, hybrid makes the time that students and their instructor spend together a more precious commodity. As such, greater focus is placed on using that time more purposefully.
Whereas in a traditional classroom, a certain amount (sometimes a significant amount) of in-seat time might be spent watching videos, reading texts, and taking notes during faculty lectures, in a hybrid course, students are more often assigned these kinds of content-centered tasks in the online portion of the course, and spend face-to-face time more deeply exploring it, analyzing it, deconstructing it, and collaborating together to develop new ideas...
The expectation in a hybrid course, of both students and the instructor, is that in-seat time is more actively used. The question, “Can students do this on their own (alone or in groups)?” becomes a primary consideration in the course planning process, so much so that if students come to class only to be given a read-and-review assignment, they are often irked by what they see as an inadequate use of time, a wasted opportunity.

the questions that should drive HYBRID instruction:
the questions that should drive HYBRID instruction:
- WHAT DO STUDENTS NEED ME FOR?
Prioritize your in-person time with students to include the experiences they will need the most support with.
Leave time to conference with students and answer their specific questions to address student needs and build positive relationships.
Move anything they can do without you to asynchronous formats and encourage them to bring questions to synchronous learning opportunities.

3. HOW CAN I DE-SEQUENCE LEARNING ACTIVITIES?
3. HOW CAN I DE-SEQUENCE LEARNING ACTIVITIES?
Ask yourself if students REALLY need to do #1 to be successful on #2. Be honest about what students need to know in advance. Does this allow for flexibility in the sequence of learning?
Group learning objectives and create smaller modules that can be addressed in any order.
Separate content and skill work, so they can be addressed in any order.
Use practice as either prework or postwork. Students that receive instruction earlier will have more time to apply the instruction; students that receive instruction later may be more open to the instruction because they have already engaged with the work and need less time to revise based on the instruction.
Have groups A & B working on two separate units or learning sequences then swap. Planning upfront will be busy but then you are ready for the next rotation.
Give students the end task at the beginning and have them "build" each part as they are able to engage with the relevant learning activities.
4. HOW CAN I CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE STUDENT-CENTERED?
4. HOW CAN I CONTINUE TO BECOME MORE STUDENT-CENTERED?
In what ways can we allow students to drive their own learning, create their own experiences, or at least make decisions on how they will engage with the learning?
Student-centered classrooms include students in planning, implementation, and assessments. Involving the learners in these decisions will place more work on them, which can be a good thing. Teachers must become comfortable with changing their leadership style from directive to consultative -- from "Do as I say" to "Based on your needs, let's co-develop and implement a plan of action." from edutopia
