Discussion of A Hybrid-Flexible Course For Student Self Determination

Abstract: There are currently multiple teaching modalities available to instructors. Although the terms vary, in general you have (a) classroom instruction; (b) online asynchronous; (c) online synchronous; and (d) hybrid. However, all these models are linear, assuming a one-size fits all approach whereby students follow the pre-determined modality path laid out by the instructor. But what if a course design considers student self-determination, where the learner can move between modalities, based on her or his choice, while not sacrificing quality of content or experience? Such is the potential promise this high flex classroom experience round table discussion.
