I enjoyed reading through the information presented on your blog about the integrations of online, hybrid, and collaborative learning, I have never taken a hybrid class, but feel I would like it a little more than an all online experience, I like having the face to face opportunity to ask questions or collaborate ideas with classmates. I also like the instant feedback if I need clarification on an assignment.
Although I am comfortable taking an online course, I am not entirely comfortable teaching one yet. I have two blended classes this semester and I like the ability to meet with students to discuss important topics, projects and face to face collaboration.

I can certainly relate to online and collaborative learning! Since I am currently working on my Master's degree in an online environment, I have had to "learn to learn" in a new way. I have never taken a hybrid course - I have found myself needing/wanting direct guidance in some pieces of my online courses. So, I think I would really like a hybrid option.
I have never thought too much about who would be benefited by taking online courses. You mentioned study abroad students and military members - what a great option for them!
I also found your fact about "one in five" college students in the near future will be in some form of online/hybrid/collaborative course interesting. I can completely see why!
Cait, I was surprised by the statistics of "one in five" as well. I agree that with the increase in colleges offering online formats this trend will take off.
