Hybrid Offerings

The hybrid courses offered through the special education department are conducted with an online component, in addition to on-campus sessions, to offer students an alternative to regular classroom courses and a more flexible learning environment. These courses enable people with family or employment commitments to more readily take courses.

Hybrid courses are a part of the regularly offered schedule and the faculty's regular credit load. The format will require four to seven meetings on campus for each hybrid course and extensive internet communication and exchanges.

Computer Requirements for Hybrid Courses

The special education hybrid courses will use the web-based Desire2Learn (D2L) software. At a minimum, you will need to have access to D2L at least three times a week for at least 3 hours per week. Depending on the extent to which a course meets online, you may need to access D2L significantly more time(s) per week.

In order to take a special education hybrid course, you must meet the minimum technical requirements for your operating system and browser for D2L and have:

Audio/video (listening/viewing) capability, including speakers or a headset
Access to broadband internet
Ability to download from D2L (some firewalls may present problems)
