Abstract:

Hybrid course delivery combines conventional face-to-face instruction with distance education in the same course. At Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey, WebCT course management software is used in graduate library science courses to mitigate the effects of commuting and to integrate use of the Internet in teaching. Each WebCT course has its own password-protected Web site for faculty and student use, providing access to lecture notes and class discussion from a distance, as well as other uses. Use of WebCT allows flexibility and continuity for all class members.
