Hybrid+ courses This training model combines synchronous (real-time) learning and asynchronous (self-paced assignment completion) learning in the way that is seen in current online academic models. A participant will have the opportunity to engage in pre-scheduled mandatory live sessions using video conferencing (see technology requirements below) with the instructor and other students. Participants receive a physical course book or an e-book and will have daily activities throughout a 1-week or 2-week schedule and must login daily. Hybrid PLUS will host 10-15 participants per course and will allow for opportunities to work together in small groups throughout the live sessions. Live sessions typically occur from 9am to 1pm PST but are based on the individual instructor's lesson plan. Participants must confirm lesson times on their syllabus/agenda which they receive 3 weeks in advance from the start of the course; accommodating their work schedules around the training. Participants are encouraged to meet with their supervisor to block off time within their workday to not only attend live sessions but allow for sufficient time to complete course work. Estimated total time commitment per student is 3-5 hours a day. ULA Hybrid Course Blackboard Tutorials For the best experience possible ULA strongly suggests for participants to schedule the time off needed to attend live sessions and learn the materials. Courses taken are for the benefit of the counselor and their professional development. Hybrid+ courses are virtual live courses that require participants to attend live sessions similar to a face to face classroom. Participants will need to step away from their daily work duties to complete homework, follow-up with the instructor, pass the exam, and complete core educational competencies. ULA is not responsible for scheduling conflicts that may arise when registering for a course. Please review our attendance policies prior to accepting a scholarship and/or registering for a course.
