After all, we've run classes for thousands of years without the use of computers and the Web. "Chalk and talk" is still the predominant method of delivering instruction. While traditional face-to-face meetings can still be effective, applying the tools listed in Classroom opens up new possibilities for learning that weren't possible twenty years ago. To effectively combine online and face-to-face learning is what is called "hybrid" courses or "blended learning.”

Hybrid courses combine the best of both worlds. Imagine moving most of your content delivery to an online environment and saving your course time for discussion, questions, and problem solving. Many instructors have found they can save time and increase student learning by allowing students to engage in the material outside of class.

This allows them to use face-to-face time for troubleshooting.

There are a number of other reasons to think about using a CMS in your courses like Student demand, Student schedules and Better courses.

You probably heard all of this in the early '90s. So, what's changed? Nothing!!! We've just heard about web and Internet but couldn't explore and make fruitful use of it. This is the time to be equipped with all the features to compete and deliver quality in this emerging and demanding world.
