Designing a Dual-Credit Hybrid Health Course

This design case describes the development of a dual-credit hybrid health course for incoming first-year high school students seeking to earn college credit. I developed the hybrid health course from the Personal Health Management course I taught at the university level. During the process, I was communicating with the high school health co-instructor. This one-semester hybrid course allows high school students to learn about the many dimensions of wellness and comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention. In addition, students can view content online and in class, participate in discussion peer activities, complete weekly quizzes, and develop a personal health management plan. Upon completing the course, students earn 3-credit hours towards their college degree.
