Impact of the Placement and Quality of Face-to-Face Meetings in a Hybrid Distance Learning Course
Colucci, William; Koppel, Nicole
American Journal of Business Education, v3 n2 p119-130 Feb 2010
As online and hybrid courses are becoming a wide-spread option for higher education, researchers are exploring various delivery methods. Hybrid courses involve blending two modes of interaction--both face-to-face as well as online. The exact distribution and timing of face-to-face meetings verse online delivery is a question that instructors have been struggling with since the inception of hybrid courses. This paper reports findings from a study evaluating course outcomes in an undergraduate business computer applications course based on the quality and quantity of face to face meetings at the beginning of the course. (A bibliography is included.)
