Sample Problem: You advise Pat Williams, the president of DynaTech, a company that makes precision electronic instruments and navigational equipment. Sally Evans, a member of DynaTech's sales force, recommended that DynaTech buy a small private plane (a SwiftAir 235) that she and other members of the sales force could use to visit customers. Pat was about to approve the purchase when there was an accident involving a SwiftAir 235. Your document library contains the following materials: 1 . Newspaper article about the accident 2. Federal Accident Report on in-flight breakups in single-engine planes 3. Internal Correspondence (Pat's e-mail to you & Sally's e-mail to Pat) 4. Charts relating to SwiftAir's performance characteristics 5. Excerpt from magazine article comparing SwiftAir 235 to similar planes 6. Pictures and descriptions of SwiftAir Models 180 and 235 Sample Questions: Do the available data tend to support or refute the claim that the type of wing on the SwiftAir 235 leads to more in-flight breakups? What is the basis for your conclusion? What other factors might have contributed to the accident and should be taken into account? What is your preliminary recommendation about whether or not DynaTech should buy the plane and what is the basis for this recommendation?

he broke his content presentations into less than ten minute streaming video clips, and he interspersed his mini-lectures with student-centered problem-solving activities.
- Bill Campbell on 31 Jan 12
  
  As I was reviewing information from Brain Rules to confirm my recollection about the 10 minute rule, I found the following quote from Medina that also seems signficant with regard to a possible hybrid course advantage. He says the most common communication mistake is "relating too much information with not enough time devoted to connecdting the dots. Lots of force feeding, very little digestion." Might this be an advantage of presenting information online in a content-heavy course? Maybe the logistics of breaking up a 45 minute period that don't work well face-to-face might work better by presenting some content online. My gut says yet, but I'd like to see real examples of this.

  This is interesting because it is consistent with the research report in the book Brain Rules by John Medina. Brain Rules reported that students attention in a class drops a significant amount after 10 minutes and that you need to change gears to get another 10 minutes. So breaking up a video lecture into 10 minutes segments seperated by releveant problem sovling fits right in with that.

Lesson #3: Start small and keep it simple.

"Integrate online with face-to-face, so there aren't two separate courses."
...

Cancel
"The emphasis is on pedagogy, not technology. Ask yourself what isn't working in your course that can be done differently or better online."
...

Cancel
Lesson #4: Redesign is the key to effective hybrid courses to integrate the face-to-face and online learning.
...

Cancel
, instructors need to make certain that the time and resources required to create a hybrid course are available before they commit to the process.
...

Cancel
Students need to have strong time management skills in hybrid courses, and many need assistance developing this skill.
- Bill Campbell on 31 Jan 12
  
  Participation in an online course might be an authentic way to provide high-school (and maybe older middle-school) students the opportunity to practice time management skills in an authentic way. However, this would need to be handled carfully so students who are not successful at first are not completey lost or so far behind that they can't be successful later after learning from their mistakes.

Contrary to many instructors' initial concerns, the hybrid approach invariably increases student engagement and interactivity in a course.
...

Cancel
Lesson #6: Students don't grasp the hybrid concept readily.
...

Cancel
Lesson #5: Hybrid courses facilitate interaction among students, and between students and their instructor.
...

Cancel
Surprisingly, many of the students don't perceive time spent in lectures as "work", but they definitely see time spent online as work, even if it is time they would have spent in class in a traditional course.
...

Cancel
Lesson #7: Time flexibility in hybrid courses is universally popular.
...

Cancel
Lesson #8: Technology was not a significant obstacle.
...

Cancel
Lesson #9: Developing a hybrid course is a collegial process.
...

Cancel
Lesson #10: Both the instructors and the students liked the hybrid course model.
...

Cancel
They stated that the hybrid model improved their courses because Student interactivity increased, Student performance improved, and They could accomplish course goals that hadn't been possible in their traditional course.
