Campus Technology’s 2016 Teaching with Technology survey (524 respondents with an average of 21 years teaching) shows that college classrooms have now crossed over to becoming significantly technology-aided with only 19% of courses still being exclusively face-to-face (no online component).
A majority of respondents reported asking students to review videos or other online materials and activities prior to coming class. As a result, class time then shifts to hands-on, group work, projects and discussions. Those of you who are fans of Bloom’s (as we are) will recognize the shift towards higher order cognitive processing tasks being instructor-directed.
So where are we now? 29% of instructors are teaching exclusively blended sections with another 46% doing some blended and 11% still exploring the option. Helping instructors save time in the shift to blended learning is becoming increasingly important.
However, needs are more pervasive than simple assignment and assessment platforms made available by most of the large publishers over the last decade. In fact only 21% of faculty report using such systems showing that there is significant opportunity remaining to help optimize teaching and learning with technology across a broader range of disciplines.
