Title Building a High-Quality Online and/or Blended Learning Program – Key Questions and Design Considerations
Presenter(s) Bruce Friend – Pine Springs Prep; Mary Fluharty – StrongMind
Description Planning for, designing, and building an online or blended learning program is both exciting and challenging and one that doesn’t have an instruction manual unique to your population.  This session is designed to be both presentation and working session to guide you as you start to think through:

  • Funding
  • Legislation
  • Staffing
  • Policies
  • Instruction
Session 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM  | JW Ballroom Salon 3 | Pre Conference
Title Hybrid Schools in Action: Student-centered, Innovative, and Flexible Learning Models
Presenter(s) Dan Mahlandt – Valor Prep Academy AZ; Kim Loomis – i3Digital PD & Michigan Virtual
Description Come join the Digital Learning Collaborative (DLC) community – Hybrid Schools in Action. Hybrid learning combines face-to-face instruction with online learning while reducing the number of students on campus and/or shifting the number of days in the building [or limited required time via live instruction] by moving some of the course delivery online. Hybrid schools offer flexible learning opportunities (time, pace, place). With just a few required onsite days plus virtual learning days/time, students socially connect with peers and actively engage in learning with their teachers. So… how do you design a successful hybrid school? Join us as we discuss how hybrid schools across the nation are rethinking school and learning practices.

Title Run the Hybrid Gamut! Learn How to Add Hybrid to Your Online Learning
Presenter(s) Dan Mahlandt – Valor Prep Academy AZ

The most important step if seeking to solve a problem that leverages the power of the humans in your organization with the power and potential of digital content BUILT to be supported by those amazing people in your school. We will begin to build that process together during the session continue conversations afterwards.  Hybrid learning is the way but there are many paths to make it work.
