An article by Wingard (2004) ,
Classroom Teaching Changes in Web-Ehanced Courses,
"assessed the kinds of changes that occur in face-to-face instruction when faculty add Web enhancements to their course. "
It comes up with some expected and unexpected results. The affected faculty expected the following:
- more efficient face-to-face interactions, better class discussions
- more active learning,
- less lecture
- more readily available practice and feedback opportunities for students, and
- more student-centered instruction.
That was essentially the case; moreover, “an unanticipated consequence of continual and comprehensive student access to course materials and resources was
an elevation of faculty's expectations for students" [emphasis mine].
Where change was noted it was much more likely to be positive.
