lead to active, motivated, focused student participation in
asynchronous discussions.
•Recognize and develop discussion facilitation styles that
encourage higher-order critical thinking and lead to
constructivist learning dialogues
11. Module 3: Synchronous Instructional
Strategies
•Identify the characteristics of effective synchronous
communication
•Identify strategies to facilitate interactive and productive
synchronous meetings.
•Devise guidelines, expectations, goals and deadlines that
lead to active, motivated, focused student participation in
synchronous discussions.

articulated
• What thinking strategies and processes do students
need to develop?
• What methods and techniques need to be learned?
• What terminology and concepts are important to
know?
16. Module 7: Designing Integrated Hybrid/Online Courses
Part 2: Assessment
Faculty develop:
• A variety of assessments that measure the stated
learning objectives are sequenced, varied, and
appropriate
• Specific and descriptive criteria for the evaluation
of students work and participation
• An explicit course grading policy
• Assessment strategies that provide for student self-assessment
and ability to measure their own
progress.
17. Module 7: Designing Integrated Hybrid/Online Courses
Part 3: materials and learning experiences
Faculty develop:
• Instructional materials that contribute to the
achievement of course competencies and
module/unit objectives
• Learning experiences that provide opportunities for
student/content, student/student, student/teacher
interaction
• Technology tools and strategies that support course
learning competencies
18. Module 7: Designing Integrated Hybrid/Online Courses
Part 4: Creating an online/hybrid course
Faculty create a course syllabus that incorporates:
• Explicit learning competencies for a course
• Learning materials that contribute to the
achievement of the stated course and module/unit
learning objectives.
• Course activities that promote the achievement of
the stated learning objectives, provide opportunities
for interaction; and integrate technology into the
course design in ways that support student
engagement.
19. Part 4b: Creating an online/hybrid course
• Develop an course introduction that makes clear how to get
started and where to find various course components and
introduces students to the purpose and structure of the
course
• Develop course instructions that link to a clear description
of the technical support offered
• Ensure that the course employs accessible technologies and
provides guidance on how to obtain accommodation.
