D. Faculty Competencies

1. Faculty Training:

   Faculty proposing and/or teaching a course for hybrid delivery must complete required training in the basics of hybrid course design and instruction. 

   Relevant required training is part of the HCRC course approval process to ensure that faculty teaching hybrid courses are knowledgeable and competent in hybrid delivery paradigms. Faculty teaching a hybrid course are expected to abide by established policies and procedures for hybrid course delivery and be knowledgeable in best practices. The University must regularly offer faculty training and certification in the hybrid method.

2. Course Management System and Related Technologies

   To achieve consistency and competency for students taking hybrid classes, the University requires use of the University’s course management system for the structuring and delivery of courses in hybrid format. The University also may limit the technologies and software not supported through the University’s informational technology systems.

   Students taking hybrid courses must have adequate technical support available through the University. (Updated 4/5/16)
