| What is your discipline and the title of your course? |
Medical Transcription.
All MTR classes.
|
| What makes your course a hybrid? |
The classes are offered at a distance with a f2f meeting at the beginning of the semester for an orientation session and at the end for an in-person final.
|
| What kind of activities do students do in out of class time? |
| Read assigned textbook and information provided online, transcribe the audio files provided
|
| Where do your students do their out of work activities? |
| Most of the students do their work at home, though some do come to campus to use the computers here.
|
| What was the reason for offering your course as a hybrid? |
Medical Transcription is done at home in a majority of the cases. Offering the classes at a distance is done to emulate what working as a medical transcriptionist could be.
|
| How many scheduled f2f meetings are there and how are they scheduled? |
| Two - one at the beginning and one at the end of the semester
|
| What technologies support your hybrid? |
| Internet access, .wav files, Blackboard CMS
|
| What worked? What did not? |
| Having the students work on their own, making them responsible for finding the information that they don't understand is the one thing that works the best. At times, the students don't do this well, expecting me to give them the answers, which is not how medical transcription works in real life. If there is something that can't be heard, the MT must find it in some fashion on his/her own.
|
| What would you do over/different? |
| I don't know what I would do differently. I make changes in things each semester but that would be something that would be done if the classes were f2f also.
|
| How were you supported? |
| Learning Grant one summer to move some tests from one computer platform to another, otherwise,I did this on my own.
