To ITV or Not to ITV: A Comparison of Hybrid and Web-enhanced Approaches to Teaching a Macro-course in Human Behavior in the Social Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
Hybrid education includes an online component and interaction between students and teacher by televised sound and image. This approach contrasts dramatically with traditional faceto-face teaching and classroom teaching modalities enhanced by Web-based tools. Should educators in ‘‘human behavior and the social environment’’ (HBSE) use hybrid technologies? This study explores the differences and similarities in student satisfaction and learning outcomes between a hybrid and a face-to-face Webenhanced macro-course in HBSE. Results suggest that hybrid and Web-enhanced course delivery methods do not differently impact student learning. Students did report greater satisfaction with some but not all aspects of the hybrid sections.
