Abstract:
This paper explores the use of a hybrid course design to address the needs of working adult learners in an MBA program. The choice of a hybrid course design allows for the retention of the face‐to‐face component of traditional courses, while addressing the need for flexible scheduling of working adults. This presentation will examine faculty and student perceptions of a hybrid course design using data collected from MBA students and full‐time faculty members over a five‐year period. We will cover such factors as course design and content, interaction/collaboration, assessment, learner perception, and faculty perception. Findings from this research would be useful for those who teach or those who are considering offering hybrid or online courses/programs.
