Online or Hybrid DE CoursesHow many of you have taught or are teaching an online or hybrid developmental education class?
How do you differentiate between an online and a hybrid class?
How effective would you say either is?How do you measure “effective?”
Did you design your course following guidelines?
For those of you who have not designed or taught a class, why would you want to teach a DE class online or as a hybrid?
What would be your goals for this class?

Online or Hybrid DE Courses• Nearly 50% of community college students have taken
at least 1 fully online course (Jaggers, 2011)
• 65% of DE Math and 47% of DE Eng withdraw• 20% math or 32% English take gatekeeper class; • Lack of technology and the skills to use it, lack of a
structured learning environment, and lack of social and emotional connection
• few courses required any kind of social presence and consequently a sense of isolation, lack of structure, and a lack of support
• Solution was to adjust using sound online course design through Community of Inquiry (CoI) model

Design of READ 0200
Block scheduling adopted and reduced class meetings to 2x
Fully online section piloted then discontinued – 29% vs. 55% success rate
Hybrid and F2F sections – no significant difference in success.
80% of sections are delivered as hybrid – one day in smart classroom, second in computer classroom

Fall Course re-design following CoIOnline activities are integrated with F2F
Standardized course organization - TP – SP – CPModules by week and match syllabusNews page recaps/reminds in-class and online activities
Grading of assignments – TP – SP – CPUtilize voice recording functionsLonger more encouraging comments align to rubric
Discussions - TP – SP – CPInstructor actively modeling and guiding discussions

What we learned
Formative adjustments after Fall 2014 • Discussions still weaker than expected• Use F2F discussions in class about concepts during Guided
Practice• then, moving to texting discussions in class about the
concepts, and comparing the affordances of each• then, moving to online discussions during computer lab day
of class and comparing the affordances to texting, to F2F
• Twice weekly News updates• Tighter syllabus alignment with D2L
modules

Future Research• Collect data over bother semesters
• Course completion %
• Semester-by-Semester retention %
• Gateway course success
