Abstract

Teaching university courses online or in a hybrid modality is becoming more popular yearly. This teaching method is cost effective and convenient for instructors and students, but is it the most effective modality for learning and teaching in all courses? This presentation focuses on the research-based factors contributing to strengths in online learning and teaching as well as the weaknesses, challenges, and opportunities from empirical research. Instructor and student perspectives and effective strategies using Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) are discussed based on converting three face-to-face (F2F) required teacher education courses to a hybrid and online format during one year.
