Eye on UMSL: Hybrid teaching - UMSL Daily

Mimi Duncan, lecturer in information systems at UMSL, helps Lucas Matecki, a junior business major, on May 3 during Duncan’s course Computers and Information Systems. The hybrid class combines online lessons and weekly in-person teaching at Express Scripts Hall. Computers and Information Systems is a pilot course funded by a grant from Next Generation Learning Challenges, a nonprofit initiative that’s working to improve college readiness and completion with technology.

“The weekly help sessions allow students to come in and get as much or as little assistance as they need, and I’m here available to them the entire time,” Duncan said.
