Increasing class sizes and teaching online have been challenges to effective language instruction and other domains that require high instructor to student contact and peer-to-peer contact. In this lecture, Rubio will discuss strategies that his Spanish Language Department has used at the University of Utah to reduce the cost of instruction, maintain the same level of proficiency, and increase both instructor satisfaction and student retention using hybrid courses.
