How to Design and Teach a Hybrid Course

This practical handbook for designing and teaching hybrid or blended courses focuses on outcomes-based practice. It reflects the author's experience of having taught over 70 hybrid courses, and having worked for three years in the Learning Technology Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Jay Caulfield is an associate professor and an associate dean at Marquette University, where she has led the curriculum design of the college's hybrid graduate degree in leadership studies. She routinely teaches courses in leadership theory, organizational behavior, and research methods, and has moreover taught over 80 hybrid courses within the past eleven years.

Caulfield's research interests include transformational leadership and adult learning. Recent peer reviewed publications include, Why should I tell you how you teach? An expectancy theory perspective and Applying graduate student perceptions of task engagement to enhance learning conditions.
