Hybrid Course Description:
The Teaching Online at Texas State Hybrid course is comprised of approximately 4 hours of online, asynchronous work and 4 hours of synchronous time. There will also be an optional 1 hour lab and Q&A session following the synchronous meeting. The majority of the 4 hours of asynchronous time is designated as “Before Class” activities to complete before attending the synchronous session. These online modules consist of videos, audio files, interactive and informational and practice activities, text, and quizzes. These modules should be completed sequentially.
Modules labeled as “In Class” contain additional information and materials from the synchronous session for your review.
Modules labeled as “After class” will be unlocked after your attendance in the synchronous session.
Modules marked as “Optional” are provided strictly for use at your discretion. Rather than quizzes, these modules contain “Check your knowledge” activities. These scores will not be considered as part of your certification to teach online at Texas State.
This Teaching Online at Texas State hybrid course in Canvas is one of several official paths approved by the faculty who serve on the Distance and Extended Learning Steering Committee, for faculty certification to teach online and hybrid courses at Texas State University.
