Consider UH Hilo?s definition of hybrid: A hybrid course includes both regularly scheduled on-site classroom meetings and significant online out-of-classroom components that replace regularly scheduled class meeting time. Note the number of hours weekly that the course meets in class and estimate the number of hours per week on average that students will interact with online and other course materials. For example, “This course combines approximately 90 hours of instruction, online activities, and assignments for 3 credits,” or 120 hours for 4 credits.] A hybrid course includes both regularly scheduled on-site classroom meetings and significantonline out-of-classroom components that replace regularly scheduled class meeting time.

Nevertheless, you should access the course website at least two to three (2-3) different times each week.Anticipate spending 5-12 hours per week on this course [THIS RANGE IS BASED UPON APPROX. 2-3 HOURS PER CREDIT HOUR.

Wherever you are, be sure you have regular and dependable Internet access.Online Etiquette (Netiquette)You must log in to Laulima to engage in online class discussions at least twice a week. To access the discussion area, click on the [Discussion and Private Messages or Forums] link in the Menu bar on the left-hand side of our course homepage. I will introduce the topic of discussion relating to our course material on Monday of every week. Interaction with each other and responding to the issues and questions posed is a vital part of our course, and [accounts for XX% of your course grade]. By [DATE AND TIME (ex: Thurs 6p HST] each discussion will be locked, meaning students can no longer post, although they can still read existing posts. Please offer information that is relevant, substantive and insightful. To optimize your Discussion points, below are guidelines about netiquette and considerations specific to our online course: Engage in discussion; in other words, post your own comments, and also respond to your classmates’ postings. Posting a reply as simple as ‘Yes, I agree’, or ‘No, I do not agree’ will not be counted as your required counted post.Write to each other with the utmost respect. There may be times and instances when controversial topics come up for discussion and students will have different points of view. Even if you passionately disagree with others, treat your peers and their perspectives with great consideration.Online Etiquette (Netiquette) (Cont’d)Although many of the online discussions will relate to your personal opinions, engage in these discussions in an informed manner: investigate and think things through before writing, to best demonstrate your knowledge and opinions; also demonstrate that you have accessed resources (textbook, lectures, peer-reviewed/scholarly research) that have enhanced your knowledge about the topic.Write in sentences and in proper grammar, and feel confident about your spelling before posting comments online. Writing in all capital letters gives the impression of shouting, so please refrain from that. Longer messages are easier to read if they are presented in a series of paragraphs. Hawaiian is an official language of the State of Hawai‘i (together with English), and you may use Hawaiian in your postings. If you believe your peers may not be clear about Hawaiian words or phrases you use, please offer English language translations for classmates to facilitate collective understanding, unless you have a strong reason not to offer the translation.Please refrain from using words and phrases you believe will offend classmates, such as ones that are widely recognized as racist, sexist, etc.Read and reread your online comments before you post them. You will be graded on them!Feel free to add a personal profile, resourceful web links, reasonably sized images, etc. to your postings; this is a space that will allow you to get to know each other and share your knowledge and opinions.TECHNICAL ASSISTANCETechnical RequirementsYou'll need these basic items to get started with using Laulima:Hardware - Full access is available via most desktop or notebook computers.
