Online Course Design Showcase Series: Piloting a Concurrent Hybrid Model within a Professional Graduate Program

Event Date & Time

Event Description

The Master of Health Administration (MHA) is a cohort-based professional program for clinicians, managers and researchers who are seeking solutions to today’s complex health delivery issues. In response to student feedback amidst the transition to online learning, their program approached learning design in creative ways, including the pilot of a concurrent hybrid model for one of the courses during the 2020 fall term, inspired by the HyFlex course model.

During this session, the program team will lead a 15-minute presentation including:

• Key design, logistic, technology and support considerations for pursuing this model of learning
• Reflections from faculty, staff and students on challenges and successes
• Emerging ideas for future iterations

The presentation will be followed by a 45-minute collaborative discussion. Attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on connections between this model of learning and their own contexts, ask questions, and share ideas.

Facilitators:

• Nick Bansback, PhD., Director, Master of Health Administration Associate Professor, School of Population and Public Health
• Sherisse Sy, Special Projects Manager, School of Population and Public Health
• Jocelyn Micallef, Educational Consultant: Learning Design, Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology
