Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) has evolved rapidly during the last decades. These technological advancements have enabled new ways of teaching and learning, such as online courses, where students attend training using their own computer equipment. Previous studies have shown that the student satisfaction and learning outcomes do not differ between the classroom and online students. However, our previous study conducted on hybrid courses, where part of the students was present in a classroom and part are participating online, revealed some issues related to teaching methods and technical difficulties. In this study, we researched how teachers of a commercial ICT-training organisation feel teaching on hybrid courses. Results revealed that teacher doesn’t feel comfortable when teaching in hybrid courses. This is mainly because it was difficult for teachers to pay attention equally to the classroom and online participants. Also, technical difficulties occurring during the course are disturbing the teaching.
