Professor Nasser Maksoud (IET, LO) will present “Practical and Equitable Ways to Engage Students in Hybrid Courses” at this upcoming webinar on today from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m. Professor Maksoud is an associate professor in the Division of Information and Engineering Technology located on the Loudoun Campus. He has rich experience teaching different modalities of courses at NOVA. He is also a multi-certified engineer in Enterprise Information Technology, Microsoft certified trainer and EC-Council certified instructor.

Hybrid learning combines the benefits of both face-to-face and online modes of instruction.

Takeaways include practical ways to engage students to build learning community, interesting ideas to create synchronous and asynchronous online learning activities, examples to connect learning with a professional field and the real world and making good use of instructional technology tools in hybrid courses. All the learning activities are developed through the lens of leveling the playing field for all learners.
