Summary |
| University of Central Florida | The University of Central Florida was so tight on classroom space that the institution rented out a nearby multiplex theater during the day and a high school at night for lectures. UCF now offers more than 100 hybrid courses that meet half the time in classrooms and half online. The initial comparative outcomes show that hybrid courses have the highest success rate. These rates are higher than face-to-face courses and higher than web-based-only courses. Their RITE (Research Initiative for Teaching Effectiveness) site has materials on their hybrid and other web-enhanced courses |
| University of Wisconsin |
"During 1999-2001, the University of Wisconsin System Curricular Redesign Grant Program funded a collaborative project involving UW-Milwaukee and four UW-College campuses to develop a web resource of hybrid courses, created a model faculty development program for teaching hybrid courses, and supported 17 faculty in their efforts to design, develop, and teach their first hybrid courses. University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee - is an excellent source fro course development ideas and hybrid teaching resources. - Visit Their Learning Technology Center
