In thinking about teaching a hybrid class, one of the main things you have to do is decide what will be done in the classroom and what will be done online.

I often tell instructors to begin with the lecture portion of your class when re-imagining your teaching for a hybrid class.

Lecturing is often the simplest and most basic way of transferring information from teacher to student. Everyone does it and has done it for years and therefore, you DON'T have to be the one doing it. Get someone else to do it! Find someone else who has already done it, recorded it and put it online for free.

This link is to a website that less dozens of free online courses. I suggest looking through the ones that pertain to your class and watch/listen to it to see if you could use it as a substitute to one or more of your lectures.

Your students will benefit from a different voice/perspective on the topic.
