I didn't notice this article until it was highlighted in today's OEB newsletter (but the author is now in my RSS reader, so that won't happen again). It's a summary of a conference session with four papers (including the author's (slides on video here)) on hybrid learning, an obviously hot topic during the pandemic. The title underlines the central question: does hybrid mean we are just creating a poor copy of the actual in-class experience? As one student commented, "It is not productive to join an online class to watch a screenshare of a power point – I can do that on my own at a later time." It would have been nice to have links to additional presentations (not that I'm criticizing; I've never done it). And Zac: put your name on your blog. And remember to moderate your comments. :)
