Students Teaching Students: New Experiences in Hybrid Learning

This session was presented with Paul Baepler at the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education conference held in Charlottetown, PEI Canada, June 9, 2005.

Absract: The session recounted—through student video and course artifacts—a graduate-level course at the University of Minnesota. Its focus was to prepare future faculty for teaching in multiple online environments.   Instructors employed a hybrid online format, but with a twist. To encourage and model student-centered learning, student-led teams cooperatively taught week-long sessions. Participants selected innovative active learning strategies to co-facilitate each of the course's main foci. Students developed consensus on how best to run the class through synchronous and asynchronous discussions—building a learning community and sharpening the essential skills to teach in a variety of online environments.
