There will be no short term live streaming of students who are not enrolled in a Hybrid Course.

Hybrid Courses. 1) Effective spring semester 2008 a hybrid course is defined as one for which regularly scheduled classroom time is replaced consistently throughout the semester by required activities completed at distance and managed online. 2) The face-to-face component must be between 1/2 and 2/3 of the total course hours. For example, a course may meet 50% face-to-face and 50% online. The rationale for this requirement is as follows: A standard ratio provides predictability for students and for the course scheduling process. There needs to be an upper and lower limit set on the ratio so as to define a hybrid course separately from a web-enhanced course or an online course. 3) The ratio of face-to-face versus online time for each course offering must be established beforehand and cannot be altered during the semester. Further, both face-to-face and online times must be scheduled at regularly spaced intervals throughout the semester. For example, it is not acceptable to meet the first half of the semester face-to-face and then finish the semester online. Face-to-face meetings should occur every week. 4) A course schedule clearly outlining the meeting dates of the course shall be provided in the semester schedule. The course schedule should also note that the course is hybrid and that it is delivered partially online. 5) The online portion of the class should utilize Lake Land College’s learning management system. 6) To accommodate variations in course content and delivery modes, exceptions can be made to the above guidelines. However, to ensure predictability for students, these exceptions will require approval of the Vice President for Academic Services. 7) In order for a course to be designated as a hybrid course, an official documented proposal must be submitted and approved by the Vice President for Academic Services, which illustrates that the hybrid criteria are met before the course can be added to the master schedule. 8) Payment for hybrid courses will receive 1.17 semester hours of credit toward instructional load for the total ECH of the course.
