Can Tech Sustain Liberal Arts Colleges?

(from the Hechinger Report) Technology may help liberal-arts colleges reduce the cost of attendance while maintaining a commitment to academic excellence. Research shows that gains in student learning in well-designed online or hybrid courses are comparable to or may exceed those from in-person instruction — while simultaneously offering cost advantages. Primary takeaways from a study by the Teagle Foundation: 

• Student learning in hybrid and traditional classrooms is comparable. 
• Support is necessary for hybrid learning approaches to be successful. 
• Even if you build it, students may not come.
• Technology can lead to an unexpected renewal in teaching — both online and in traditional classrooms.
