Designing Online and Hybrid Learning Experiences

Lynch School of Education & Human Development

Face-to-face instruction is often considered the gold standard for learning, the most effective and efficient way to gain new knowledge and skills. But various models of distance education exist, including those powered by networked computing. One challenge for online and hybrid learning environments is designing ways that engage learners as well or better than in-person formats. This module will provide an overview of strategies that learning designers and engineers can use to develop effective and engaging online and hybrid learning experiences. Students will be encouraged to actively consider equity and inclusive practices in learning design.
