The Certificate in Hybrid Teaching and Learning
The Faculty Center for Teaching & Learning at Rhode Island College offers a program for the Certificate in Hybrid Teaching and Learning. It is intended to provide higher-education and K-12 faculty and pre-service teacher candidates with the skills required to meet the burgeoning needs of converting face-to-face pedagogy and skills to a hybrid learning environment. In the hybrid learning environment approximately 50% of course content and class interaction is completed online using a Learning Management System (LMS) along with a variety of other software applications.
Two courses are required to complete the certificate. Each course will be taken and completed in a hybrid teaching and learning format over a summer and fall term. "The Foundations in Hybrid Teaching and Learning" course will be offered during summer, and the "Practicum in Hybrid Teaching and Learning" in fall.
At the conclusion of the "Foundations in Hybrid Teaching and Learning" course, participants will have designed a hybrid course that they will then teach in the "Practicum in Hybrid Teaching and Learning" in the fall.
This certificate program is open to all aspiring and current teachers and faculty who teach, or want to teach in a Hybrid course, in any content area in grades K-12 and higher education. Participants must have access to a Learning Management System at their teaching institution. A minimum of a bachelor’s degree is required.
