Hybrid vs. Online: Research findings from an elementary evaluation course.
Abstract: This research compares student data from two instructional modalities used in an undergraduate elementary evaluation course, Assessment and evaluation of children, taught by the same instructor. One modality which was offered was a Hybrid format (n=33) which met face to face and online on alternate weeks. The other was a purely online format (n=229). These were mature course offerings having been taught in each of these modalities (as well as face-to-face) for a minimum of two prior semesters. As such, the course sections shared common curriculum, text, instructor, assignments and assessments with the primary difference being modality of instruction. Students self-selected into the two sections based upon convenience factors.
