Transferability
May 28 2008, 3:21 PM EDT 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. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Transferability
May 30 2008, 11:04 AM EDT 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. Do you find this valuable? |
