I did at http://www.gcccd.edu/online/tips_success.htm to look over tips for doing well in a hybrid class. The website made a good point. The only difference between a hybrid class and a regular class is that a student can do work any time of the day any time of the week. Which if you think about it, it is actually a lot better. You can do work at your time you do not have to worry about finishing during an allotted time. Some students may not like this if they prefer people to push them to do work. I call those students lazy. I also found information regarding whether or not hybrid classes work. I at http://www.ascue.org/files/proceedings/2003/p54.pdf
that "Faculty participants in hybrid course instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee “almost universally report their students learned more in the Hybrid format than they did in the traditional class sections." They also said they found that hybrid enrolled students wrote better papers, did better on exams, and were capable of having a better discussion. Similar outcomes were found at the University of Central Florida. They too found that students in hybrid classes got a better grade. In each study, they found that hybrid classes also had a lower withdrawal rate.
With all this information you would think more schools would be converting more courses to hybrid!
