Study Components
• Student-perception surveys
• Teacher & student interviews
• Portfolio assessment (not yet complete)
2Instructors took two distinct approaches to creating their hybrid courses.
“I’m going to transfer my f2f content into my M classes.”
#1
“The techniques I use to [help students learn the outcomes] are
being compromised online.”
“I made a blog for blended;I’ll use it for my f2f, too.”
#2
“They are going to benefit from blogging in the face-to-face class”

WHY?
≤1 online class before graduation
In Florida, students are required to take at least one online course before high-
school graduation.
Students bring familiarity with online and in-class learning, but have never
experienced a hybrid course.
