A blended model: simultaneously teaching a quantitative course traditionally, online, and remotely
No full textAs universities seek to bolster enrollment through distance education, faculty are tasked with maintaining comparable teaching/learning standards in traditional, blended, and online courses. Research has shown that there is an achievement gap between students taking courses exclusively offered online versus those enrolled in face-to-face classes. In an effort to mitigate these observed differences, the School of Business faculty at the research institution investigated various course models to meet the needs of a diverse, non-traditional, and multifaceted student population. Ultimately, a blended course model for statistics and quantitative method courses was developed that allowed students to choose between online, remote (via interactive television), and traditional course delivery modes each week. This model is more flexible and agile than existing blended courses that have more static components. Multiple regression analysis, ?2, and t-tests are used to demonstrate the efficacy of our model in maintaining student performance standards
Developing A Sustainable AoL Framework Using Supply Chain Principles
No full textMany accreditation agencies have adopted Assurance of Learning (AoL)-based paradigms for assessing educational institutions. Colleges/universities transitioning to an Assurance of Learning (AoL) system encounter common challenges while implementing new standards. In this research, the authors develop a stakeholder driven AoL framework which addresses common transitional issues while maintaining the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation standards. The model incorporates supply chain practices by best in class (BIC) companies to optimize overall assessment efforts. The model decreases the number of redundant processes, improves collaboration throughout the university, and promotes a more comprehensive curriculum. After the model implementation, the authors examine mission statements and tenure, promotion and reappointment documents to gain insight about how to sustain accreditation
A new day in higher ed: HyFlex Universities
No full textAs COVID-19 continues to impact various business sectors, university administrators have steadily pushed for all academic units to resume on campus operations and activities; conversely, faculty and students have expressed increased interest in continuing online teaching/learning. We aim to mitigate this “tug-of-war” between administrators, faculty and students and develop an academic ecosystem that accommodates varying preferences. We piloted a hybrid flexible (HyFlex) Business Statistics class that combined face-to-face, synchronous online, and asynchronous online delivery modes into a single course. Survey results revealed that the majority of the respondents found access to recorded lectures and flexible ways to attend class extremely useful. We also analyzed enrollment trends to ascertain the potential impact of offering HyFlex courses at one of the authors\u27 institutions. In spring 2022, over 64% of course enrollments and 72% of overcapacity classes were offered asynchronously online. Conversely, 89% of on campus classes were under capacity. Additionally, we examined tuition/fees for online vs. face-to-face courses for 50 universities in the US. Seventy eight percent of the schools had varying tuition/fees for online vs. face-to-face students, which led to revenue deficits ranging between ?171,683,736.00 to 22,727,259.00. The adoption of HyFlex courses could positively impact the aforementioned issues
