The University of Houston Embraces Hybrid Instruction
What to Save for the Classroom?
What portions of instruction might be better left to the traditional classroom? Recitation, instructor feedback, and clarification of challenging concepts may be addressed more easily or effectively face-to-face. In-class meetings may also help to engender a sense of community more effectively than online substitutes. Regular class meetings may further prove crucial to keeping some students motivated and on task. It is hard to replace the social pressure that comes from knowing that you may be facing your instructor and classmates unprepared.
