Hybrid Learning framework – Education Reimagined

The Hybrid Model combines the best of in-class and remote learning, with digital engagement. It is more than a quick fix. It is a way to enhance and accelerate learning by providing student centered approaches to meet diverse learners’ needs.

Teachers and leaders who adopted Digital Learning have reported some important learnings. What they discovered was so powerful that they did not want to slip back to the status quo.

Their learning was as follows: Acknowledgement that well-being was a critical pre-condition for learning. Technology shifted from being a vehicle for delivery/ transmission to a mechanism for collaboration, social connectedness and culture building. Self-regulation and Learning to Learn were key determinants of student motivation, engagement, and success. Students who found themselves with more choice and voice, exceeded expectations finding ways to help themselves and collaborate with others. Collaboration among teachers and leaders emerged as the focus was clear. In the absence of high stakes testing, systems relied on teachers’ and leaders’ professional judgements.  

Speaking at the event Ali Sait, CEO of Tech Avant-Garde, said, “In Hybrid Learning, education will be reimagined, teachers will find their potential, learning will be from anywhere, any place on any device and there will be only one degree of separation between Learning and Education”.
