Carefully orienting students to a blended course is a key component to supporting the success of the students, and of the course. Similar to fully online courses, it鈥檚 important to include detailed explanation of the course format, schedule, and expectations so that students are aware of what they will need to do to fully participate in the class.

Here are some things to consider including in your syllabus:

• An explanation of the format of the course, including:

1. When in-person meetings will occur. Blended courses听replace some in-person hours with online (synchronous or asynchronous)听activities, so students usually won鈥檛 be required to attend in-person at all times listed in the time-table.听
2. Expectations for in-person and online activities: What do they need to do in preparation for in-person meetings? What activities do they need to complete online, and what deadlines are there?
3. An estimate of how many hours per week students should expect to spend on the course, and possibly even how that time should be divided/allocated.
4. An explanation of how the online and in-person activities are related to each other and to the course learning objectives. Understanding these links will help students see the importance of engaging with the online and in-person activities.

• A list of the technical requirements for the course, and contact information for tech support.
  
  
• Details about how students can contact you and when. This could include listing your Dal email address, office hours, synchronous in-person and online meetings, etc.
