| What is your discipline and the title of your course? |
HIT 201 Health Information Statistics and Research
(course required in health information technology AAS degree and certificate programs)
|
| What makes your course a hybrid? |
| Uses a combination of classroom and guided independent study formats including computer spreadsheet laboratory applications
|
| What kind of activities do students do in out of class time? |
read instructor designed unit introductions,
complete textbook reading and practice paper/pencil/calculator computational assignments,
complete laboratory assignments using instructor designed hypothetical situations to build appropriate Excel spreadsheets
|
| Where do your students do their out of work activities? |
| as they desire and where ever they have access to a computer with the appropriate software, the HIT Department has a dedicated computer laboratory with open times for student use, students also use the laboratory during the scheduled course hours
|
| What was the reason for offering your course as a hybrid? |
| this course requires both mathematical and computer spreadsheet competence - students varied a great deal in their preparation in those areas (despite both a MAT and a CIS/BPC prerequisite to the course) and in comfort levels applying each - some students could finish assignments/laboratory activities quickly while others needed alot of one on one attention - this was challenging to manage in a standard classroom format
|
| How many scheduled f2f meetings are there and how are they scheduled? |
| this varies from semester to semester according to student abilities and unit difficulty - the class meets for the first lecture/laboratory session and then flexibly thereafter - some students may attend sessions more frequently than others - students are monitored for comprehension and need for individual attention - face to face meetings of the entire group average about once a month
|
| What technologies support your hybrid? |
| Excel spreadsheet and e-mail accounts (latter for submission of assignments as desired) - if assignments are not e-mailed, they are submitted via floppy disk
|
| What worked? What did not? |
| still working on individual student differences and accommodating different learning styles
|
| What would you do over/different? |
| addition of more application illustrations and examples will probably be needed
|
| How were you supported? |
| development of unit introductions and course laboratory manual were accomplished via summer mini-grants (two different summers)
