Informative Hybrid Resources

Posted on February 10, 2014 by Cheridy Aduviri

One of the benefits of the Winter Hybrid Design Group I have experienced so far is viewing sites, resources, and planning templates that Cub Kahn from the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)has provided.

http://www.stockmonkeys.com/ccimages/

Resources and Research: In our last meeting, Cub Kahn introduced us to hybrid related resources such as the Sloan Consortium. Check this site out along with other research and resources here.   Don’t miss Cub’s post about the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WECT) and Educational Productivity Apps.

Templates and Charts: We were introduced to the Mixed Map template. I look forward to using these and others in our upcoming meeting.  View them and samples on the CTL Hybrid Course Initiative site. (Scroll to the bottom left.) They may be downloaded and printed.

You may find all the hybrid resources we’ve looked at to-date here.  Do you have any favorites that aren’t included here?  Let us know.
