The lives of today's college students have always included computers and the Internet. That technology now has moved from the ether into instruction.
students in a "hybrid class" that incorporated instructional technology with in-class lectures scored a letter-grade higher on average than their counterparts who took the same class in a more traditional format.
Hybrid classes are growing in popularity and practicality for students and professors, at UH and on campuses across the country, because of the presentation of material and the accessibility and flexibility to students.
"Students could choose a content delivery method that matched their style, so we believe they were better able to comprehend the material." In addition, comments in evaluations indicated students preferred the self-paced nature of the hybrid class.
