With the purpose to explore the optimal online English class model, this study examined students’ perception on video and untact realtime hybrid classes. Participants numbered 146 students from three different English courses at a university in South Korea. Classes were composed of four modules, each consisting of two video and one untact realtime class sessions. During the untact realtime class session, Nearpod was used as the main platform to enhance students’ communication and participation. At the end of the semester, students completed a written survey regarding their perception on each of the video and untact realtime classes as well as overall management. The results showed the students were satisfied with each of the class sessions and overall management, while no significant differences were found between class, year, or sex. The results also showed the deactivation of cameras did not affect their perception during the video sessions, while registering a positive effect in the untact realtime class sessions. Their favorite online class structure was found to be a video and untact realtime hybrid class model as the one used in the current study. The findings suggest that Nearpod can provide pedagogical benefits under systematic organization within and between online sessions.
