What: Online Learning in a Hybrid World
When: Thursday, April 8, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern time
Also available “on demand” anytime 24 hours after the event
Free registration is now open.
As online learning gains traction within brick-and-mortar schools, a hybrid model of face-to-face and Internet-based coursework is emerging as the most popular form of e-instruction. But it takes more than computer access to create a successful hybrid-learning program. Join our expert guests for a discussion of how administrators can incorporate online courses into their students’ school days, and how in-person instructors can help make the online-learning experience work better for students.
Guests:
Susan Patrick, president and CEO, International Association for K-12 Online Learning (iNACOL)
Prakash B. Patel, computer science teacher, Quakertown Community Senior High School, Quakertown, Pa.
This webinar will be moderated by Michelle Davis, senior writer, Education Week Digital Directions.
