Abstract
A hybrid learning program is a mixture of traditional in-class learning components and e-learning components. A learning program may be a single course or an entire curriculum. A learning program and courseware must be designed to help learners learn. As such, a hybrid learning program is a rather complex artifact. Commercial software is in general a very complex artifact that has a clearly defined lifecycle for planning, development, deployment, maintenance & upgrade, and termination. Although learning programs and courseware are not nearly as complex as commercial software, adapting the lifecycle process for the creation and managing of commercial software to hybrid learning programs and courseware should make it possible for the learning program managers and courseware developers to take a holistic and disciplined approach to the creation and management of hybrid learning programs and courseware. This paper proposes a lifecycle process for hybrid learning programs and e-learning courseware.
