Abstract

ABSTRACT Different approaches exist in delivering courses. The traditional face-to-face, the blended approach that combines the strengths of face-to-face with the application of technologies, and the online approach, which is the form of learning that takes place over the Internet. This article reports on the impact of the forced transformation of a data science course, previously provided through a blended approach, into a fully online course, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The impact is reported in terms of the effort required by the teacher, the students’ feedback and the didactic outcomes. The students’ feedback and the didactic outcomes were compared with the students of the 2018/2019 academic year and between students directly involved or not in the management of the outbreak. The results show an increase in the perceived didactic quality, in the engagement and in the didactic outcomes (only the latter not statistically significant). Also, a specific tool used for the blended approach was very much appreciated by the students and we collected useful feedback for its improvement. The paper ends by summarising the main results, also discussed with colleagues, in order to consider our results alongside other experiences.

由于新冠肺炎疫情的爆发,从混合到在线:一门数据科学课程的案例研究
授课方式多种多样。一种是传统的面对面,一种结合了面对面优势和技术应用的混合方法,另一种是在线方法,这是一种通过互联网进行的学习形式。本文报告了由于COVID-19的爆发,以前通过混合方法提供的数据科学课程被迫转变为完全在线课程的影响。影响是根据教师的努力要求、学生的反馈和教学结果来报告的。将学生的反馈和教学结果与2018/2019学年的学生以及直接参与和未参与疫情管理的学生进行比较。结果显示,在感知教学质量、参与度和教学结果方面都有所提高(只有后者在统计上不显著)。此外,用于混合方法的特定工具非常受学生的欢迎,我们收集了有用的反馈以进行改进。本文最后总结了主要结果,并与同事进行了讨论,以便将我们的结果与其他经验结合起来考虑。
