Yes. I helped develop a hybrid manufacturing processes class at my
university as part of a mini-grant process the campus had developed.
Teams of faculty submitted proposals and the top 4 or 5 were funded
each year. We did the lecture material on line, but the labs were
still face to face.
One great benefit was that we created a lab safety module that can be
used for all lab classes. We also created lab introduction demos on
line. That added time to the lab for hands on work.
