Hybrid classes: the way of the future

Waking up late and rushing frantically to class may soon be a thing of the past. Soon, students will have the option of taking classes without ever leaving their dorm rooms by watching online lectures on UB Learns.Introducing a new way of learning: this technology of the future features a convenient approach to having the wise words of a learned professor at your fingertips.According to Raymond Orrange, an adjunct professor for the school of management, hybrid classes offer students alternatives to attending lecture three times a week, which can be favorable exchange for students with busy schedules."We are looking for classes with large enrollment to deliver a lecture given once a week, rather than four times a week for a large group of students," Orrange said.According to Orrange, the lack of personal interaction in the classroom can lead to an astronomical amount of e-mails and phone calls from students confused about assignments or course materials."There's a lot of indirect communication with students, more student inquiries," Orrange said.
