Blended courses brew convenience - Jeff Engel, Marquette Tribune
More professors are experimenting with "hybrid" courses, a mixture of in-class and online learning. In this format, professors eliminate a certain number of class periods, with online material taking their place. Online material can be presented in modes like text, podcasts and PowerPoint presentations with voice overs from the professor.... By allowing students to substitute online learning for a few hours in the classroom, "hybrid" courses can add some convenience to the chaos of college life. In a traditional hybrid, or blended, course, professors place about 20 percent or more of class material online, said Jon Pray, associate vice provost for educational technology. This material replaces some in-class learning, allowing professors to eliminate a certain number of class meetings throughout the semester. An increasing number of faculty are teaching hybrid courses, Pray said.
