Post Three

When researching for information to “succeed in a hybrid class,” I stumbled across this website: http://www.edudegreedirectory.com/hybrid/. The homepage gives you the basis of what a hybrid course entails. It also provides a section that can help determine if a hybrid course is right for you. Some of the skills they recommend and mention are: internet access, good reading and writing skills, self-motivation, managing time wisely and be on schedule! Even though most of it reiterates what I recommended in my previous posts, it just makes the ideas I mentioned more concrete. This website also weighs the advantages of taking a hybrid class. One of the reasons you may decide to enroll in one of these classes would be because it is easier to get “a college education because of the limited on-campus attendance.” Another advantage is the accessibility of completing material that is assigned. As long as you have an internet source, all work can be completed in a timely manner. One of the advantages that I found interesting, but believable, is the increased percentage of class participation; since students are not required to speak in front of a group, the participation in the hybrid course is greater than in an on-campus class. The website even states: “Even though the Hybrid method is fairly new, professors are reporting a high rate of success.”
