The PLATO Curriculum Committee is available to support course coordinators interested in learning more about combined in-person and online ( “hybrid”) access for their courses.  Here are some of the ways we are doing that:

 

1.     The Curriculum Committee will host an information sharing workshop for coordinators interested in learning more about how to run a hybrid course or to share lessons learned from their experience on July 7, 2 pm at Bethany United Methodist Church.

2.     PLATO can use a dedicated videoconference device (“Meeting OWL”) for a few hybrid courses at Bethany United Methodist Church (3910 Mineral Point Rd) or at Oakwood West.

3.     Hybrid access is also quite feasible at many other venues, using simple equipment such as webcams, speaker/microphones, and in-room TVs or projectors.

4.     PLATO Course Coordinators’ Guide for Hybrid Classes is available by clicking here https://platomadison.org/resources/Documents/Guidelines%20for%20PLATO%20Hybrid%20Courses%2006-23.pdf

5.     The PLATO Courses webpage has  a block devoted to additional information about hybrid courses, hybrid devices and course management.

6.     If you have questions about any of the above, please contact Bill Colwell at wscacct@live.com.
