HYBRID LEARNING

Education and training is a timeless need! However, traditional face-to-face training methods may no longer be the most effective solution in today's rapidly changing world. As we continue to face the post-pandemic effects, we have to adapt to changed circumstances. With the rise of remote work and education, and the need for flexibility, a learning approach that blends online and face-to-face training can be a powerful solution to meet the needs of your learners. Introducing: Hybrid Learning! Incorporating e-learning elements into your teaching can help you create a successful hybrid learning experience for your learners.

The pre-pandemic world was almost entirely face-to-face, but considering the commute times and strictly guided class times, I found that I had time for nothing else! Hybrid learning allows students to have some flexibility in their learning experience. You can participate in virtual education from any place, at any time. This flexibility can help learners balance their studies with other commitments, such as family responsibilities. We also forget to value ourselves in this busy world - personal time is always a must, and sometimes gets left behind in the rush to get ahead.

Another one of my favourite things about hybrid learning is how easy it is to personalise and customise to cater to each person’s needs. You’re able to access online resources at your own pace, while receiving one-on-one support from educators during face-to-face classes. It is the best of both worlds - you achieve your learning goals on your own terms, while improving your experience through gaining personal support and guidance! On top of this, if you feel as though your learning materials are not fully benefiting you, you can easily offer feedback to your educators. With e-learning materials, it becomes extremely easy to make an edit to content, essentially giving you a quick fix, and content that you actually find useful!

Engagement and focus can become quite difficult when doing the same thing. As a student, sometimes I found myself wishing that I could put my teacher on 2x speed, or skip past certain points they spoke about as if they were a presentation. At the same time, I greatly appreciated the fact that I could speak to my peers, collaborate, and participate in discussions. The 2020s have created the perfect learning world through hybrid learning.

The e-learning aspect allows you to interact and engage with multimedia, and learn at your own speed, while the face-to-face aspect maintains the human element of group discussions and collaboration! Student engagement and participation skyrockets when you’ve hit the sweet spot of balancing your hybrid learning.
