Talking hybrid learning models – Holly Tousignant, Queen’s University Journal — resource and quote below from Ray Schroeder
A pilot project from the Principal’s Taskforce on Virtualization put two different models of virtualization into practice this past year. Leger said students in POLS 110 and BIOL102 were polled throughout the process to gauge their approval. More than 80 per cent of students polled in both courses found it useful or extremely useful, he said, adding that none of the professors involved noticed a significant drop in attendance. “The students actually said they listened more in class. … They’re worried less about taking notes, they’re worried less about missing something,” he said. Leger said while the first model of virtualization used the lecture-capture system to supplement lectures, the second model used videos alone for some students in BIOL102, which is split into sections A, B and C. Students in sections A and B were given lecture periods and video access, while students in section C only had video access. He called this model “hybrid virtualization.”
