Abstract

As educational budgets continue to shrink, colleges and universities have turned to online course delivery as a means of increasing enrollments. In addition, with the proliferation of Internet-based course management and other software that facilitate the learning experience, many traditional courses are adding an online component, creating hybrid courses in different formats. In this chapter, the authors explore different strategies and technology solutions to help instructors develop rich, dynamic courses, whether they are completely online or hybrid courses that use online tools and technologies to augment the traditional class. This chapter covers the advantages and disadvantages of hybrid courses, technologies and practices available for them, emerging technologies such as Second Life™, social networks, dense wavelength division multiplexing, telepresence, satellite networks, and the use of texting in the classroom.
