Abstract:
|
SUNY-Empire State College's FORUM program is designed for adults working to earn their Associate and Bachelor degrees while working a full-time job. Students in this program attend three weekend residencies each term. During this time, their classes meet for three hours, providing nine hours of classroom contact with their classmates and faculty member each term. In between these residencies, they maintain contact with their instructor in a variety of ways. This presentation describes how the residencies are combined with an Internet-based approach in an introductory statistics course. Observations about the effectiveness of different activities in this blended-learning model in comparison to similar learning activities in a purely distance learning Internet-based version of the course will be made.
