The purpose of this case study was to examine how a professional graduate program in higher education administration developed seminar-style courses in a blended format. Blended courses involved two extended in-person weekend sessions with synchronous online sessions, and other asynchronous coursework in between. This study explored the importance of interaction, student satisfaction, and motivation to student success. Data were collected through student surveys and faculty interviews from 11 courses within the same graduate degree program at a private, highly-selective research university from spring 2016 through spring 2018. Class size was the biggest factor relating to student interaction. This study also found synchronous online discussions had a greater impact than other learning activities and that satisfaction and interaction had a slight increase over time as students and instructors became more comfortable with the format.

在高等教育管理研究生研讨会式混合课程中检查学生报告的互动和满意度

本案例研究的目的是研究高等教育管理专业研究生课程如何以混合形式开发研讨会式课程。混合课程涉及两个扩展的周末面授课程，以及同步的在线课程，以及介于两者之间的其他异步课程。这项研究探讨了互动，学生满意度和动机对学生成功的重要性。数据是通过2016年春季至2018年春季从一所私立高选择性研究型大学的同一研究生学位课程中的11个课程中进行的学生调查和教师访谈收集的。班级规模是与学生互动的最大因素。
