I.
“Brief Hybrid Workshop” (BHW) [See
also
Map/Template of BHW elements]
A Brief Hybrid Workshop (BHW) is a
group activity of less than 15
minutes that includes the use of one
or more media clips AND some other
files, instructions, activities,
documents, plans, guidelines, etc.
Links to these resources are
usually assembled on a single Web
page that serves as the home base
for the Workshop. The TLT
Group provides a list of
Essential Elements, guidelines,
and related resources for designing,
developing, using, sharing, and
improving BHWs.
Participants interact
with each other and with
leaders/presenters/facilitators -
face-to-face, online, or both;
synchronously, asynchronously or
both.
A BHW is intended to
help a group of people to produce or
learn something useful to them.
II. A
“Brief Hybrid Teaching/Learning
Module” (BHTLM)
A BHTLM
is the same as a “brief hybrid
workshop” EXCEPT for intended
audience and
purpose: help students to learn
something in a course (usually
undergraduate).
III. A "Brief Hybrid Kit"
(BHK)
A BHK is designed for a group of
users who share a common purpose but
have slightly different goals.
A BHK has a home base Web page with
the same structure as a BHW, but
with multiple choices available in
several of the cells. That Web
page can be easily modified and
adapted to serve the needs of
different group members.
Example 1: "Some Assembly
Required" - intended to help complete beginners
produce their first BHWs very
quickly
Example 2.
"Gandhi's List of 7 Blunders that
Lead to Violence" + 1 + 5
Example 3: Rhetorical
Knowledge
BHK focused on "Rhetorical
Knowledge: students will
develop an understanding of 'writing
situation' -- of the relationships
between the occasion, the audience,
and the form a written communication
should take." The eClip
cell for this BHK might offer both:
A. A link to a 5-minute
video clip
An eClip that explains what
"Rhetorical Knowledge" is, why it is
important in many academic
disciplines, and how it can be used
- for example - in a few
disciplines.
B. A link to a generic
script
A script available as a Google
Document - suitable for copying and
adaptation by a small group of
faculty members from a single
academic department. The
modified script enables that
department to produce a new 5-minute
video clip of their own. The
new clip becomes part of a new BHW
suitable for use during the last 15
minutes of a class period in several
departmental courses early in the
academic year.
