In a mixed format course, some material would be presented and discussed in class and other material might be presented and discussed on an electronic threaded discussion group. Students set aside time to access the technology using campus computer lab. We know from other work that students learn more in a situation where they work on the course multiple times during the week rather than all at once. Students could access the material on the internet from home or from labs on campus. The exercises helped prepare students for the class sessions, thereby making effective use of the scheduled time.
Courses meet in a classroom that has computer access.
Students work on problems during the scheduled class period and then extend that work to out of class time, either individually or in groups.
