About the workshop
This workshop addresses the growing trend of hybrid learning in education: the need to understand affordances, obstacles, and optimal ways of implementing it. It is conducted within the context of the Erasmus+ project “Hyb-IT-up”, which aims to empower higher education teachers/learners to leverage their full potential. Activities are designed to engage participants in exploring the concept of “hybrid teaching/learning” with teachers and educators. Participants will be divided into two groups: one face-to-face and another using Zoom to simulate a hybrid approach. Outcomes will be the co-design of a framework for hybrid learning and teaching competencies, which supports our future guidebook development.
