Interactive webinars, online consultations, asynchronous online courses, and even hybrid team meetings can offer similar outcomes to their place-based counterparts. These strategies also have the potential to decrease costs and increase reach.
Learner and educator satisfaction can be higher in hybrid models than in fully online delivery (Scaringella et al. 2022).
It’s true that we’re living in a hybrid world. Our colleagues and our audiences expect options and flexibility now more than ever.
But it's not easy.
Doing hybrid well takes planning and preparation. So we've compiled some examples and primary considerations of popular hybrid options with the help of colleagues across Extension.
Learn from colleagues who have successfully managed hosting:
- A synchronous hybrid 3-day Minnesota Agriculture and Rural Leadership (MARL) event;
- A series of Mentoring Apiary workshops that can be taken in person or live online through a Zoom meeting;
- The AIS Detector Core Course entirely online (with the second piece being a little pre-work practice and two three-hour synchronous Zoom sessions) OR as a full-day in person workshop;
- A free program for veterans that includes both in-person and online components;
- A podcast, blog, Facebook page, "brown bag" webinars, online courses, and in person workshops for audiences to pick and choose from;
- Direct instruction with multi-week courses in the community and a flexible self-directed learning opportunity covering the same learning objectives through a website; and
- A variety of social media for class participants and the general public.
