With so many developments in education in the past few years, hybrid learning has become an umbrella term, encompassing a variable mix of onsite and online, live, and asynchronous methods. A particular method involves learning sessions with some students and the instructor present in the classroom, and some students connected remotely, at the same time. It is made possible by powerful software, a stable internet connection,
and AV equipment such as cameras, screens, and microphones. This is what we call a hybrid classroom. The benefits of hybrid classrooms Hybrid classrooms allow for flexible learning experiences. Flexibility is becoming a paramount feature of learning. On the one hand, there are more adult learners upskilling and reskilling (requiring flexibility due to full-time jobs or families, for example). On the other hand, digital
natives´ demands are different to their predecessors´ and have changed further during the pandemic. They discovered that learning can be delivered effectively also outside a standard classroom. These shifts have been noted. More than 60% of Business School leaders stated in 2021 that they will keep aspects of faculty teaching online with students not coming to campus; 67% consider ‘flexibility in learning’ a priority for investment in the next two years.
