What is a Hybrid Course?

Hybrid courses are courses in which a significant portion of the learning activities have been moved online and the time spent in a classroom is reduced, but not eliminated.
The goal of the hybrid course is to join the best features of in-class teaching with the best features of online learning and reduce class seat time.
Using computer based technologies, instructors use the hybrid model to redesign some lecture or lab content into new online learning activities, such as case studies, tutorials, self-testing exercises and online group collaborations.
