Last year, Animal Sciences leads Jeanne Osborne and Henry Zerby received a 2012 Departmental Impact Grant from the OSU Office of the CIO and implemented, with the information technology support of Michael Chakerian (Animal Sciences), the completed project autumn semester. Osborne used the HyFlex instructional model, which allows students to choose an online or classroom setting on a regular basis. Representatives on the project from Learning Technology, OCIO, included Robert Griffiths and Tom Evans. Contributors involved with project development included Henry Griffy (Learning Technology), Michelle Hendrick (Animal Sciences), and Warren Flood (CFAES, Assessment Consultant), as well as numerous others around OSU who provided input and suggestions.
