The chart with four rows, each containing a black label box on the left and a gray quote box on the right. Row 1: The Ability to Identify Struggling Students – “Identifying those students early before they fail the first exam... directing them to a tutor or whoever that may be. If they aren’t upfront about that, they’re definitely going to fall behind really quickly.” Row 2: Lack of Connectedness – “Students report that by using these online tools or apps, they feel like they miss this connection with a professor, where I am passing on something special to you. My clinical pearls, my experience as an expert.” Row 3: Communication Gaps – “There is a challenge of not being able to ask the professor in that moment a question that is relevant to the content that’s before them.” Row 4: Life Distractions – “Most of the students that are in an online program have families and jobs. There is a reason that [students] want that flexibility. It is because school isn’t the main priority. It’s usually second or third tier.”Interview Subjects Reported Challenges ofTeaching Hands-On Skills in a Blended Environment
