Hybrid Learning: Maximizing Student Engagement - Ruth Reynard, Campus Technology
I became involved with hybrid teaching simply as a common-sense approach to the challenge of transitioning traditional faculty from classroom to online learning environments while I was director of a center for instructional technology at a university in the South. The challenge that faced me was working with faculty who were almost completely resistant to the idea of distance learning via the Internet, believing it to be a diminished learning experience. Many faculty also demonstrated a fear of technology in general and saw it as potentially time-consuming and overwhelming. The faculty were not, however, resistant to the idea that technology might be helpful in some way to support learning outside the classroom, as well as provide ongoing discussion opportunities between students.
