Mary K. Stewart ; Jennifer M. Cunningham ; Natalie Stillman-Webb ; Lyra Hilliard

Abstract

This multi-institutional study surveyed undergraduate students (n=669) about how and what they learned in hybrid and online first-year composition (FYC) classes, employing the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Framework to analyze their responses. The data illustrated a significant difference in hybrid versus online students’ perceptions of the student-teacher relationship.
