Teaching A Hybrid MBA Course: A Case Study In Information Technology From The Student Perspective

There is ongoing research into online, distributed, distance learning that has transitioned from mailed video tapes to fully-implemented web-based courses. Less research has been conducted on hybrid courses – those that combine face-to-face sessions with web-based sessions. This paper reports on a case study of a hybrid course that teaches Information Technology in an MBA program. Rationalization for the implementation of a hybrid course within a traditional MBA program is explained. Cautions and expectations from the literature are explored. Lessons learned from the student perspective are presented
