Hybrid facilitation
1) If you have taught hybrid classes in the past, please share your approach. What points from the presentation resonate with your experiences? Are there any practices from the presentation that you will incorporate into your classes?
I have taught hybrid courses via distant learning and very few online styles. On the distant learning style I interacted with learners via teleconferencing communication means. It was a great way to meet and raise difficult issues and concepts among participants. On the online style we meet f2f four times during the session. I found it more convenient to adult learners. It is very important to online teaching to set up the class rules in advance and to post your requirements, announcements, feedback, grading rubrics and grades on a timely manner.
Marshall,
Usually it is not. The f2f component can often leverage the online parts, and vice versa.

Mahmoud,
Everything you stated "set up the class rules...etc..." is very important. Additionally, to leverage f2f and online with one another. Another way to say it would be to integrate the two. Use the online activities to refer to stuff accomplished in the f2f environment and vice versa. This is one of the best ways I have found to get engagement in both components of the class for the highest percentage of students.
