Extended Abstract
According to EDUCAUSE’s 2023 Higher Education Trend Watch, the “continuation and normalization of hybrid and online learning” is among the top ten trends impacting higher education today. As institutions navigate the continuous shift in the educational landscape, they find themselves asking: Should remote testing options be offered to all students whether in-person, fully online, or hybrid? How would it impact student success and academic integrity?
A global crisis accelerated the adoption of technology in both the classroom and the workplace. While most students and faculty have embraced these tools, many institutions are navigating how to best leverage technology to create conducive hybrid learning environments that level the playing field for all students and prepare them for a successful future.
Join Brian K. Marchman, Ph.D., former University of Florida Assistant Provost for Distance Learning, as he delves into the impact of the pandemic and how it drove the need to expand hybrid learning. Learn about the benefits of the hybrid approach and the ability to leverage technology to enhance the teaching experience. Dr. Marchman will share his perspective on the future of remote education and the vital role that institutional technology will play in student success.
As the session begins, Dr. Marchman will begin by discussing the impact of the global pandemic on the University of Florida and how it accelerated the need to scale online learning. He will then proceed to describe the benefits of hybrid learning options for students and faculty including:
-
Increased flexibility to meet student expectations and needs
-
How faculty can leverage technology to dedicate more time to the teaching experience
-
How to uphold academic integrity in a hybrid learning environment
Following that, Dr. Marchman will discuss the future of remote education and how institutions can equip students with the necessary social, technological, and communication skills needed to be successful in an increasingly digital future. The audience will have the ability to participate and engage throughout the session.
