 This process has allowed me to see, you know, where I could go with my teaching, what might be other ways that I could deliver the material and still be effective. And I think the combination of methods will be a beneficial thing too. I think the advantage to developing a hybrid course that's most significant to me is the ability to document the best delivery mechanisms, the best content, and to be able to continue to evolve that over time as new things change without losing, you know, sort of the basic content that was already in the course. I think going into this process, understanding that it's not a replacement for what you do, it's not something that's going to take the place of the traditional classroom teaching delivery mode, but it is an opportunity to sort of say, how can we do things differently? There were a series of sessions mostly on Friday afternoons in the beginning weekly and then subsequently every other week, and the courses, you know, the actual sessions themselves were really productive. They were on one hand spoon feeding some sort of basic information, but it never felt really pedantic or sort of basic in its process and provided me with a lot of information and kept me moving toward a goal of completing what was a pretty arduous task with regards to the amount of information that we had to document and thinking that we had to do that went into the course development. And what I found very refreshing was that we got very different perspectives. We got experts in different areas relating to the hybrid course transformation. And the one underlying theme was everybody was positive towards the experience, so they brought different expertise, different suggestions, different resources, and they were in a very positive and helpful manner. It felt like you weren't alone anymore. I had great experience with my instructional designer. When we started talking about implementation and tools and how do I do this and that, I found them to be a great resource and they did help us walk through the process. I think part of their value for me at least was that instructional designer kept us on track. What I found very interesting about the instructional design process and this project was the idea of really starting from the bare bones, really destroying what you had in a traditional classroom and saying let's start from ground zero and rebuild it in a way that's very strong, very structured and very in line with the method of delivery. I learned a lot in terms of the process itself, the design of a course, stressing course goals and objectives and then really narrowing it down to assessments and deliverables. So my entire experience has been a positive experience. I've learned quite a bit and I think I can transfer some of this knowledge from the course design aspects over to my other courses. I think hybrid classes are good and I think there's components that I could use in even the classroom where I'm in the classroom because I think if there's like material that's basic and core and their applications are what you really want to use with the students, I think you could have that online lecture that they do outside the classroom so that you can really focus in the classroom on the application, the real world, you know the process of thinking and strategy. I see it as a great opportunity to spend some time developing tools and developing resources that the traditional students typically wouldn't have access to. I think the course actually stands to be improved dramatically which is a bit of a surprise for me compared to my thoughts going in. I think my initial expectations were that there was a great opportunity for the course content and the value of the course to be diminished, not increased, particularly in some of the delivery components or aspects of the course. But after really experiencing this there's a few primary areas where I feel like the course could actually stands to be strengthened pretty significantly. If you're interested in going through this course transformation it really should be going in with this idea that it really gives you a chance to take a step back, look at your course, find an appropriate way to deliver it, really reassess what you're doing in the classroom and finding a better way to communicate that information to the students. I think you have to go in with your eyes open that it is a major investment of time and effort but it is valuable time and effort in my opinion. I feel like it's going to improve my teaching in the classroom and ultimately on this hybrid mode.
