Hybrid Introduction
Hybrid: A combination of two different learning techniques, pedagogies, or styles. The most common definition of hybrid learning includes an in classroom and out of classroom component, usually digital. Hybrid pedagogy aims to use both of these environments integrating the lessons learned into a larger whole.
What is hybrid learning?
Often, the term hybrid learning is used almost interchangeably with blended learning. However, there is a subtle distinction. In hybrid learning, a significant portion of the course takes place online. In contrast with blended learning, a hybrid learning scenario replaces much of the student-teacher “face time” in a brick-and-mortar location with online interaction.
What is blended learning?
Blended learning is a form of education that takes place both online and in a brick-and-mortar location. Both of these modalities are integrated into a cohesive learning experience for the student. In blended learning scenarios, “face time” between students and teachers is not replaced by online course delivery. Rather, the online component of the learning experience usually consists of exercises or additional content that complement the in-class lesson.
What is a flipped classroom?
The flipped classroom is another form of blended learning where a student is first exposed to new material outside of class, usually in the form of an online presentation. When the student attends class in a brick-and-mortar setting, the class time is used to apply the material in the form of problem-solving and discussion.

Hybrid Pedagogy
- The original idea behind hybrid learning was the idea of maximizing the benefits of being in class and being out of class and that it takes both environments to fully understand what is being taught.
- On Campus: Groups, activities, modeling, immediate, seeing and creating relationship with instructor and peers, community building, integrating material, connecting practice/off campus learning together.
- Off Campus/Digital/Online: Internal processing/reflection, video lectures, videos, community, practice, application, experiential, special events, observations, outside opinions/viewpoints, time
- Integration of off campus/digital/online and on campus learning
- Myth of the “on” week and “off” week! Break the cycle and do not talk like this or refer to it this way to your students!
