This study explores whether student academic performance differs between the face-to-face and online hybrid sections in an undergraduate introductory macroeconomic course offered at a US community college. The data was collected from 414 students enrolled in various sections of the course during five semesters from spring 2016 to fall 2018. The findings show no statistical difference in student performance between face-to-face and online hybrid courses and contribute to the literature specific to the discipline of economics, which unlike other disciplines, has shown discord in findings. The usefulness of such results may extend to US higher education institutions to help them make data-informed decisions about their future investments in online teaching modalities and course design in the discipline of economics.

Abstract This qualitative study examined student perceptions regarding a hybrid classroom format in which part of their learning took place in a traditional classroom and part of their learning occurred in an online platform. Pre-course and post-course anonymous essays suggest that students may be open to learning in this context; however, they have specific concerns as well. Students raised issues regarding faculty communication patterns, learning styles, and the value of clear connections between online and traditional learning experiences. Student concerns and feedback need to be addressed through the course design and by the instructor in order for them to have a positive learning experience in a hybrid format course.

This article focuses on the experience with the online learning of undergraduate students of Uzbek State World Languages University. The aim of the article is to reveal whether online eduaction has positive or negative impact on the achievements of undergraduate students; and what should be done to make it successful and engaging. Data were collected through the students’ achievents on the basis of two courses. Moreover, online surveys were done to investigate how the learners evaluate their experience regarding online learning. The results of the experiment have shown that the absense of real interactions between learners and teacher complicated the challenge of understanding the content of courses. The results point out that further development of the course design and assessment strategies are necessary.
