q2 · i? · review · r3

Review discussion of supplemental-model challenges, citing included studies. The review also names "the course-and-a-half syndrome", where added online components without removing existing activities overload the course.

"A serious issue that could be encountered is that students would approach lectures as substitute for the online materials, and would then not do the online work"
