I think option #3 is best.

It depends on the material being presented but most of the time I prefer to be in a classroom where I can ask questions and listen to the questions that I did not think to ask. I learn quite a bit by watching the body language of the instructor too

I would love the self directed study guides and would think you would get alot more people to be able to do it with jobs, kids it is very hard to do classroom. But what about study guide and online class? then you could get online and ask questions etc… to a instructor. I just sent some new nurses to the first halef online half classroom SANE class in NY and they really enjoyed it got alot out of it and are really enthusiastic about starting!!! I think that would be a good mix of both.

I agree with a previous post that the subject/topic of the class needs to be considered. For example, a class on physical assessment skills would probably be best with in person instruction or a combo method so that the instructor can assess the students’ skills. Personally, I like the combo (#3) as long as it has lots of resources and frequent feedback with online discussions for clarification of class content.

Each option has a place, and can be different for different people dependent upon their situation. I personally prefer the in-person, hands on learning, but like the convenience of on line opportunities.

I would want the combination of on line and classroom for my own learning. I need other minds in a group setting to stimulate my thoughts. Guess I am basically a people person. Although short on line sessions have their place.

I like the combination method the best. Having recently graduated from a BS program which allowed for classroom, online and blended classes, I found that the blended classes worked the best for me. There were times that I took just online classes but I opted to do this when the course material was not that pertainent to my career path, simple required for the degree and the classroom classes at time got so bogged down due to the need to “dumb”-it-down for students who just were not interested, but instead there because someone else was making them go.

A combination of the two would be ideal for someone like me.
