Effective?

Something about this makes sense, but it also leaves me a little unsettled.  I could easily see this vision of hybrid learning hurting our students:
the researchers seem more excited by a hybrid application of the open-learning program that, instead of replacing professors, tries to use them more effectively. By combining the open-learning software with two weekly 50-minute class sessions in an intro-level statistics course, they found that they could get students to learn the same amount of material in half the time.
