Southwest now offers students the ability to complete a class while only spending half the normal amount of time inside a classroom. No, we haven’t figured out a way to speed up time; we’ve moved half of the class online.
“Hybrid” is the name used to describe a course that combines online learning and classroom instruction. This best-of-both-worlds approach to learning offers students the in class interaction with professors and other students that is so much a part of the college experience, while still giving them the convenience and flexibility of online education.
With hybrid courses, a large percentage of your course is online and as a result, the amount of time students have to spend in the classroom is lessened. Hybrid courses also reduce the amount of time a student has to spend commuting to and from class and give students the freedom to choose when to do parts of their coursework to fit their schedules.
By continuing to attend part of their classes on campus, students also get access to the latest technology and equipment offered in the college’s classrooms and labs. Southwest began offering hybrid courses in 2006 and the program continues to expand, with new hybrid classes coming every semester including university parallel courses in business and management information systems.
At Southwest, hybrid courses are identified in the schedule of classes with a section number beginning with 'H' (Example: ISDS2600H01).
