Abstract
Our presentation briefly describes the advantages of integrating highly interactive online materials with embedded assessment activities and feedback into a junior/senior level Biochemistry/Biotechnology class. We then focus on the challenges faced by the instructor in adapting these materials. While appropriately integrated interactive online resources provide flexibility to students with diverse backgrounds, they present a number of challenges to the instructor. These challenges include selecting and integrating the online materials, learning the new technologies required, modifying standard teaching practices to take advantage of these new teaching resources, getting students to buy into the new teaching/learning approaches, and dealing with resistance to institutional norms/change as they pertain to hybrid courses.
