Hybrid course design has different considerations than other course modalities. It
can be overwhelming to make all the decisions needed to convert an existing course
into the new modality.
This group will focus on the decisions that you need to make in order to effectively
transform an Online or Face-to-Face course into a Hybrid course. You'll follow along
with "The Blended Course Design Workbook" by Linder and Kelly, and be supported by
other CCRI Faculty and Staff as you go. By the end of the group, you will have a fleshed
out Course Map and Syllabus to support your students (and yourself!) as you navigate
your Hybrid course.

Join us for an easy-going book club on "The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity

Disaggregated Data Requests
In February 2022, I (Rachel) was able to see my course data for General Psychology
(a course I have taught many times here at CCRI) disaggregated by race and ethnicity.
The results were surprising and difficult for me to face. Despite that, I’m very glad that I did it, and I’m looking forward to trying some
new strategies in my courses to try to close the equity gaps I found.
If you’d like to check out your own course data, request a meeting to get started.
This is a confidential process and is for your professional development only. Results
are not shared with chairs, deans, or the VPAA.
