The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst for the growth of online and hybrid instruction. Demand for online and hybrid IB and management courses at colleges and universities is at an all-time high. But while the quantity of such courses has increased dramatically, their quality has often lagged, with both students and faculty expressing frustration at the limitations imposed by Zoom and other technological platforms. Meanwhile, the advent of new technologies such as ChatGPT has made it easier than ever before for students to engage in cheating and other forms of unethical conduct. With that in mind, we propose an online/hybrid teaching perspectives panel that will examine recent technological trends in online IB education and instructor strategies for making online courses richer, more interactive, and more engaging for students.
