I hope it is okay to talk about my own Web 2.0 application... Please forgive the self promotion if not.
At http://www.haikuls.com you will find haiku LMS, an on-demand learning management system in the Web 2.0 "tradition." Already, educators across the US and the world are using haiku LMS to extend their classrooms to the Web; most of them for free. Individual educators can use haiku LMS for free, or pay to upgrade as needed. And if districts or universities want an alternative to the more traditional LMS aps like Blackboard, haiku LMS is a great option.

I retired from a 42-year teaching career, most of it at middle-school level, but 5 years of it doing teacher-training in Beirut, Lebanon. My best results came from interdisciplinary teaching, sometimes in a team-situation, sometimes under over-arching themes rather than categories or topics. I also employed a visual approach growing out of brain-based research on learning and memory. I've shared these experiences that effectively changed my way of teaching for the last seventeen years of my classroom life in two books published by Rowman and Littlefield. I'd love to stay in contact with teachers still actively in the classroom to keep up on what they are doing and trying, and also like to share things at my website: www.madlonlaster.com The brain files by association, so if we associate various disciplines in a classroom unit of study, we help young minds go farther and retain more.

These two comments - one from a chemistry professor and the other from an administrator really sum up what it we do - allow students to have a genuine high quality lab experience away from the campus-based laboratory...
AHS lab kits are certainly helping students get the kind of hands-on experience that a face to face chemistry lab provides. While certainly not providing each and every technique, these experiments go a long way in providing a medium for the students to get a first hand experience of learning Chemistry by doing. Further, it does provide a medium for students to think about the experiment they are performing and draw conclusions as in a regular brick and mortar Chemistry Lab. Venkat Chebolu Chemistry Professor SUNY Jefferson NY
We adopted your lab kits to complement our web-based Health Science courses and they are great! Our students get a genuine wet lab experience without coming to campus and excel in their classes. These kits provide a genuine science lab learning experience and are infinitely better than passive simulations. Alison Jacobs – Department Chair Health Sciences CCCOnline.

I create a randomly generated test (so no two students get the same test) taking questions that I like from the course text and using Blackboard's timed feature. I have changed my in class tests to the same thing. I figure if it's open book for online it should be open book for all but, you better be prepared to locate the answers quickly. I have found my tests scores have remanined at the same average. I also send the questions to them one at a time so, that the test cannot be printed out. I don't let them see which questions they have gotten wrong until after the tests due date. The Respondus feature is a feature that locks down their browser so, that they cannot print or minimize the test to search for answers. I have not used it yet but, plan to try this summer.

As I stated in my response to one of the other questions, I really believe that it is the mixture of the two environments that makes this type of learning effective and not necessarily what activities you do in each environment. I'd start with picking what you like to do in the classroom and /or what you like to do online. Then, divide up the rest, but make sure that you make connections between the activities that are being done online and the activities thatare being done in the classroom. Once you've taught it that way, you can tweak and change what doesn't seem to be working for you.

Do you think that hybrid courses have a greater potential for being accepted for transfer to other institutions than strictly virtual classes do? For example, I think the fact that our biology courses include some on-campus hands-on lab sessions improves the likelihood that they will be seen as comparable to traditional courses that have a lab component.

That's an interesting question. At our institution, it hasn't worked that way. We can get a class transfer agreement set up without indicating what the modality is. So, for instance, we might have students take a class online or in the classroom, and the course would be equally transferable. Hybrids are just another modality that can be added after the transfer agreement has been established. From what I know of transfer agreements, the course title and description is what really counts. As long as the modality allows you to accomplish what the description says, then it should transfer. You're right about labs - it's a way to make a class online with a lab component, which is really a hybrid. If labs are required, online courses probably wouldn't cut it.

I think of designing a hybrid or blended class as a process of recognizing which learning activities are best done face-to-face and which are best done online, and then dividing the allotted time for the semester accordingly. What advice would view as most valuable for instructors new to this process, regarding how to determine which is which?

This is a really good question, and there is not one easy answer. The truth is that we offer online versions and F2F versions of classes, and both can be good. So, a hybrid class isn't always designed by figuring out what can be done best F2F or vice versa. Initially, we took that approach in designing our course, but we've tweaked and tweaked and realized that many activities can be done either way. I actually believe that providing the mixture is what is inherently good about it rather than what the mix is. So, I'd think about what you like to do in front of the class, and keep those as part of your hybrid, and then work on what you'd put online or what you find you like to do online. Then, before you say "I'm finished" you will want to figure out how you tie the activities done in class to the activities done online and vice versa so that it is seamless.

At Columbus State, we use Blackboard to deliver online and hybrid courses (and to help with traditional courses). I would imagine the process is similar regardless of the application you use.
I spend part of our first F2F meeting going over technology, demonstrating how to do certain things, and requiring students to practice in class. I also assign online readings that include written explanations of how to use the technology.
By the way, our hybrid courses have F2F meeting times that are set and included on the master schedule that students see when they are registering. We can sometimes limit the number of meetings, but the F2F dates are established prior to scheduing to ensure students can meet that time. Still, because some students think that hybrid courses will be more online, some sign up and think they can get away with not showing up. For my hybrid class, that is a problem and the student will not succeed as I integrate online and F2F activities throughout the quarter.

RE: What has been the greatest challenge . . .

I've been teaching a hybrid English course for a couple years now. Initially, the greatest challenge was to get the right students signed up for the course because students weren't familiar with hybrid courses and just signed up not knowing what they were signing up for. That is slowly changing, where I get at least half of the students who are actually there because it is a hybrid course. However, I still get quite a few students who want an easier class and equate less F2F time with easier.
Another big challenge has been technology literacy. We have no proficiency requirement, and students expect instructors to get them up to speed on any technology needs.
Finally, the biggest challenge is - and will always be - the time commitment in making sure the online and F2F environments are integrated. It's like having two worlds to keep an eye on.

Lisa,
In your experience with using Wikis in the classroom, are they more likely to become static web pages over time or lively areas full of contributions? Why do you think this happens?
