Hybrid Learning

Instructors and administrators have learned that discussion boards, document sharing and online journals can be valuable enhancements to ground-based classrooms. This approach to teaching and learning is referred to as hybrid learning.

eCompanion is a powerful online supplement for on-campus courses. eCompanion, the Pearson eCollege hybrid learning solution, enhances classroom-based courses by broadening the class experience and increasing the access of course materials to all students.

The typical 50-minute classroom session often does not provide enough time for valuable learning activities such as group work, in-depth discussions and interactive learning. Understanding the need to extend classroom sessions beyond limited scheduled class times, Pearson eCollege has developed eCompanion.

Based on the same reliable and powerful functionality of the Pearson eCollege Course Management System for full-distance programs, eCompanion helps instructors supplement their traditional classes with hybrid learning tools for online content.

eCompanion enhances classroom-based courses by broadening the class experience and increasing the access of course materials to all students. Through course tools, such as Threaded Discussions, Document Sharing and Journals, eCompanion provides a hybrid learning solution to improve student communication and collaboration beyond the walls of the classroom.

eCompanion adds the following features to any classroom:

• Class Announcements
• Online Syllabus
• Course Checklists
• Threaded Discussions
• Chat
• Document Sharing
• Webliography
• Online Exams/Assessments
