Hybrid History 300 has the same idea behind it: To take the best of an online course (flexibility for students), add what Westminster does best (people learning together in class), and match them to form a new creation.

      What will we do in the course? We will present research projects on the web. Since most of us will be spending part of our lives dealing with the web, that seemed a natural. Let's get active control of it -- as in: you can get you deeper into music by singing or playing an instrument than by playing a CD. And research? Research is finding out about questions you have --  again, another natural since the inquiring mind is also a life-time event (the alternative is unthinkable!).

      Westminster students have something to say! Put together 1.) an online community audience, with 2.) research into a favorite & significant topic and, voilá: Web sites that tell the world, elegantly and in-depth, what it needs to know! And each student should come away with a fine portfolio.        To the Syllabus
