A class that combines in-person or online 'synchronous' sessions with 'asynchronous' on-demand content is referred to as a hybrid class. Hybrid classes not only reduce the burden on both instructors and students but can also enhance the learning outcomes. However, it’s not as simple as just combining synchronous and asynchronous methods. We are pleased to announce a workshop on designing hybrid classes, with Dr. Mayumi Sugiura from the Center for Open Education as the lecturer.

　When designing a hybrid class, it is essential to consider whether the learning objectives align with appropriate assessment methods, what types of activities need to be incorporated, and how to effectively combine synchronous and asynchronous elements. In this workshop, participants will bring a lesson plan for a single class session and have the opportunity to experience specific methods for designing hybrid classes using a toolkit. We welcome those who are already practicing hybrid teaching as well as those who are planning to take on the challenge.
