These studies always excite me because I find little nuggets of validation (what does a validation nugget look like?) that indicate we’re still moving in the best direction; best for the students, the faculty, and the university. The most telling trend is that faculty and decision-makers appear to finally be getting it. There is a measurable degree of momentum building behind expanding instructional technology across the curriculum.
If I can use this latest study in any way to help shape our online strategies moving forward, I’m going to presume that student demand for alternate format instruction (hybrid to full-online) will increase at a rate similar to technology adoption in the resident classroom. That doesn’t mean Syracuse University is prepared to meet or respond to the demand, but it’s important that we recognize it.
