Abstract

This study examines the use of the cloud-based videoconferencing platform Zoom within the Master of Arts program in Employment and Labor Relations (ELR) at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The ELR department has, in the past three years, moved from a traditional model of course delivery (either face-to-face classes or alternate fully online classes) to a system that offers course sections that integrate face-to-face instruction with access to Zoom’s real time “anywhere, any device videoconferencing” (Pradhan, 2014, para. 14) technology. This change has drawn students from a larger regional, even national geographic area, and resulted in increased diversity among the enrolled students. This study focuses on the impact of this integrated, innovative system of content delivery in terms of student outcomes, student and faculty perspectives, and the challenges of implementation and growth.
