Classroom Environments
For our paper, we will refer to teaching mode as the scope that spans in-person, correspondence, and distance education environments as well as the hybrids that include various elements of each. As has already been shown in Chickering & Gamson (1987)\cite{chickering1987seven} as well as Graham et al. (2000)\cite{duffy2000}, the principles that make up good education practices are the same, regardless of the classroom environment. Rather it is the instructor’s approach to pedagogy that makes each of these principles effective in each mode (Bernard et al. 2004)\cite{Bernard_2004}. Therefore, we assert that the fundamental principles of good instruction do not change when modes change; however, they do require a different pedagogical approach to in order to achieve them in each mode.
