Evidence-based recommendations for Hybrid Classrooms
Join Dr. Katherine McEldoon for a discussion on achieving your learning goals by selecting the right integrating technology, planning hybrid interactions with students, and more.
Dr. Katherine McEldoon, Pearson
The hybrid model of teaching and learning combines online and in-person learning into one cohesive experience. It’s sometimes looked at as the “best of both worlds” by giving students and teachers the in-person social interactions they crave while also taking advantage of the benefits of technology. This is supported by research: On average, across many studies, findings show that a thoughtful blend of online and in-person learning is slightly more effective than face-to-face learning alone.
This webinar will give you a roadmap to getting started. We’ll cover how to achieve your learning goals by selecting the right integrating technology, planning hybrid interactions with students, what a learner-centered approach is and how to support it, advice for online assessments, as well as an example of a hybrid implementation.

About the speaker
Dr. Katherine McEldoon, Pearson
Katherine is a Senior Research Scientist at Pearson, and is a research to practice connector. Trained in cognitive science research labs across the country, she has worked to connect insights from the science of learning to educational practice throughout her career. Katherine earned her PhD in cognitive development and was an Institute of Education Sciences’ Experimental Education Research Fellow at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College of Education. Her research focused on the cognitive development of children’s mathematical reasoning, as well as the causal mechanisms and efficacy of instructional interventions in both laboratory and classroom settings. Her postdoctoral work at Arizona State University centered on a research partnership between The Learning Sciences Institute and ASU Preparatory Academies, incorporating a theory of active learning into middle & high school teacher pedagogy. Since then, she has continued to bridge research and practice outside of academia, working with educational technology start-up companies, state governments, and more. Katherine firmly believes in the power of enabling educators with insights from research and incorporates this mindset into her work at Pearson.
