Background and Aims: Hybrid learning is important because it combines the flexibility of online education with the personal interaction of in-person classes, meeting a variety of learning needs and schedules. This approach increases engagement, offers a more personalized learning experience, and takes advantage of technological advancements to improve educational outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate Hybrid Learning, which is a combination of in-person and online learning.
Methodology: The review article used a comprehensive literature synthesis to investigate the effectiveness and limitations of hybrid learning models. By analyzing data from various studies, it identified best practices for integrating face-to-face and online instruction in educational settings.
Results: The finding found that hybrid learning, which combines face-to-face and online instruction, provides a flexible and inclusive educational approach that accommodates a wide range of student needs and preferences. By combining the immediate feedback and personal engagement of in-person classes with the accessibility and adaptability of online learning, hybrid models create a rich and dynamic learning environment. This combination not only improves student engagement and outcomes but also enables educators to employ a wide range of teaching methods and technologies. Finally, hybrid learning represents a progressive step toward more personalized and effective education, meeting the needs of both modern learners and educators.
Conclusion: Hybrid learning effectively combines in-person and online instruction, resulting in a flexible educational environment that meets the diverse needs of students. This approach improves engagement and outcomes, paving the way for more personalized and effective learning experiences in today's educational environment.
