Teaching on Hybrid Courses : Insights from Commercial Online ICT-Training
Abstract
Information and communication technology (ICT) has evolved rapidly during the last decades. These
technological advancements have enabled new ways of teaching and learning, such as online courses, where
students attend training using their own computer equipment. Previous studies have shown that the student
satisfaction and learning outcomes do not differ between the classroom and online students. However, our
previous study conducted on hybrid courses, where part of the students was present in a classroom and part
are participating online, revealed some issues related to teaching methods and technical difficulties. In this
study, we researched how teachers of a commercial ICT-training organisation feel teaching on hybrid courses.
Results revealed that teacher doesn’t feel comfortable when teaching in hybrid courses. This is mainly because
it was difficult for teachers to pay attention equally to the classroom and online participants. Also, technical
difficulties occurring during the course are disturbing the teaching.
