Hi Jose,

From a theoretical framework point of view, I encourage you to read any articles you can about Transactional Distance Theory (TDT) (Moore) as this theory discusses the types of advantages and disadvantages you are interested in. I have recently published an article using TDT - details are attached. Regards, Kevin.

@Kevin, great paper! Very helpful!

Thanks!

Tarcisio.

Jose:

I am only now seeing your question and would add that from my research, the classroom teaching is preferred by most students but they take online classes out of convenience and flexibility to their busy schedules. The hybrid or blended format is definitely the best of both worlds. I have attached my conference paper on lessons learnt as the blended learning champion for my department, which I hope you would find useful.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Debra

@Debra, thank you for your answer, for your paper (very helpful, like many others you wrote) and for your votes! I wish to you and all your family a peaceful Christmas and a New Year full of health and prosperity!

Dear Debra:

I think a hybrid method is a good solution. In my experience distance education requires students a greater degree of planning and greater individual effort. Tutoring and responses are asynchronous so much time between the question and the answer of the student teacher. For me this is a problem.

Out of many differences, I shall highlight the one i.e. superiority of F2F in getting jobs. I don't think that methods are responsible for this. However, as per as the learning is concerned, the idea of blended learning is superb and is being used by researchers these days which may help in reducing the gap between F2F and distance learning.
