Structured Instructional Activity Charting: A Method to Assess Online and Hybrid Courses to Meet Interactive Credit Hour Guidelines

We will present a method to review online and hybrid courses using a rubric of alternative instructional equivalencies. Analyzing course syllabi, assignments, and other course activities, the results are helping facilitate course changes to enhance student learning and interactivity and to help institutions meet federal and accreditation credit hour guidelines.

OUTCOMES: Learn about the federal and accreditation definition of credit hour and the importance of conducting systematic course analyses * Assess the rubrics that are being used to conduct this analysis and suggest potential additions * Construct an analysis of a course at your institution using this model
