Abstract

Today's students, who grew up in the digital era, show great dexterity in using digital and internet-based tools, thus building a solid base for transferring courses online. Online instruction has now become a prominent dimension of university education and a chief pillar of curricular reform and innovation. An example would be the rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which provided limitless opportunities for millions of learners to access excellent resources online, enabling students to interact with world-class institutions through online courses. Also, with online education on the rise, modern technology can allow for interaction, discussion, collaboration, and assessment to take place in online classrooms, essentially addressing some of the limitations that online teaching used to have when compared to traditional forms of teaching. In this sense, as tides have turned, conventional teaching models are ever-further challenged by their virtual variants, facilitating the experimentation of so-called hybrid online-offline courses aimed at redefining classical university education.
