Abstract

Online teaching is perceived to take more time than in-person teaching, but research studies that capture time-on-task demonstrate that online teaching takes similar or less time than in-person teaching. Although hybrid course offerings are on the rise, little has been done to measure the effect of hybrid courses on faculty workload. This study closes the gap by using data from the Faculty Survey on Student Engagement (FSSE) to understand how much time faculty teaching in different modalities (in-person, hybrid, and online) spend on teaching, research activities, service, and advising students. Findings indicate that in-person and online faculty spend their time on different aspects of workload but engage in the same amount of time overall. Hybrid instructors spend more time overall.
