Hybrid Learning: Models andTechnologies John Bell William Cain Sandra Sawaya Charlie Belinsky March 21, 2013 [252]
Hybrid Courses • Using both face-to-faceand onlineinteractions for “contact hours” of a class • So a “hybrid” course is not … • an online project for a face-to-face course • a face-to-face meeting for an online course • MSU academic planning directions Support the systematic trying and testing of various instructional modelsJune Youatt, Acting Provost.
Our Initial Context • Ph.D. in Ed Psych & Ed Tech edtechphd.com/edpsychphd.com • Face-to-Face (F2F) and Hybrid Provide access to mid-career people • Challenges • Two groups integrated — a challenge and a strength • Practice what we preach • Design Studio • Do what we’re doing … better • Learn from what we’re doing. [452]
The Big Idea • The best technology-integrated solutions match… • Well-defined purpose for technology/innovation • Learner/learning strategies • Teacher/pedagogical strategies • Content (esp., input, process, or output heavy) • Context and constraints. [252]
Corollary of the Big Idea Leading with a solution rather than a problem only succeeds by chance • What primary problem are you trying to solve? • Learning problem • Access problem • Productivity problem • Constraint problem • Demand problem. [252]
Primary Principles • Employ your best resources to solve the hardest and most important problems • Example: Do face-to-face sessions for the most critical aspects for student success • Employ the best strategies for each situation • Example: Aim for comparable value rather than same experience. [252]
Learning Environment Models * These models are (largely) pedagogically neutral.

Tech Navigator Tech Navigator • Someone whose primary responsibility is to keep the technology working and effective • A fading need as technology becomes more transparent • Technology gets more reliable and simpler • Instructors get more skilled with technology and modified pedagogy [452]
Lessons Learned • Pedagogy is (largely) independent of model • Technology specifics the unavoidable aggravation • Many and changing, yet essential [252]
Lessons Learned • Pedagogy is (largely) independent of model • Technology specifics the unavoidable aggravation • TPACK • Changing any of [technology, pedagogy, content knowledge] affects the other two • Changing the technology must precipitate pedagogical adjustments, and in fact is a good opportunity to do so [252]
Lessons Learned • Pedagogy is (largely) independent of model • Technology specifics the unavoidable aggravation • TPACK • Tech Navigator [252]
Lessons Learned • Pedagogy is (largely) independent of model • Technology specifics the unavoidable aggravation • TPACK • Tech Navigator • More planning & prep is required • Still requires just-in-time problem solving & creativity (involves risk and enjoyment) • Never done learning • Gather data for evaluation and research.

Conclusion The best technology-integrated solutions match… • Well-defined purpose for technology/innovation • Learner/learning strategies • Teacher/pedagogical strategies • Content (esp., input, process, or output heavy) • Context and constraints [252]
