Bichronous Online Learning: Award-Winning Online Instructor Practices of Blending Asynchronous and Synchronous Design, Facilitation, and Assessment

• In Event: DDL- Bichronous Online Learning: Award-Winning Online Instructor Practices of Blending Asynchronous and Synchronous Design, Facilitation, and Assessment

Short Description

Bichronous online learning is the intentional blending of asynchronous and synchronous modalities. In this qualitative study, 12 award-winning online instructors were interviewed for their online teaching practices. Data was collected through virtual interviews which were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. This research examines how award-winning online instructors blend both asynchronous and synchronous components, and how they design, facilitate, and assess these bichronous online courses. Results provide in-depth descriptions along with promising new directions.
