Abstract
In this presentation, a process developed while a course was converted from F2F into hybrid (scrambled) format, will be shared and applied. Some stumbling blocks, successes, and feedback from students from a survey and course evaluations will be highlighted. At the outset, it seemed to be an overwhelmingly daunting task to package the content of a 3 lecture credit course into weekly contained modules. After coming up with a systematic process, about half of the content is now taught online with chunked lectures and/or animations, while the other half is still delivered through lecture in class. The third lecture hour is usually dedicated to group work, designed to reinforce online as well as F2F content. Just recently, I learned that this format of a hybrid class, if it is not entirely flipped, is referred to as scrambled.
Participants will come away with:
- A process to convert a F2F course into hybrid format
- A comparison of the flipped versus the scrambled format
- Ideas for online activities (other than quizzes) to hold students accountable, as well as in class activities for the flipped format.
