Educational research strives to link students' learning styles with instructional methodology. Traditional lecture format can disseminate information or create interest in a topic, but may not be effective in stimulating critical thinking or analysis of material. Courses that combine directed classroom interaction with computerized, interactive activity (hybrid courses) have potential to benefit students by allowing them to pace their learning while retaining contact with an instructor who can mentor their progress. Because hybrid courses combine educational structure with individualized learning, they are becoming a popular option. Interactive, computerized instruction gives students control over the amount and rate of material assimilated; these students out performed those in a traditional classroom environment. The creation and use of interactive modules at universities across the country would allow each student to learn from the "best" instructors and have access to these modules for future reference. By addressing and accommodating different learning styles, the use of modules in hybrid courses can improve learning and more importantly retention of important material.
