Strategies for Virtual, Online, and Hybrid Education
摘要
Over the past few decades, the widespread adoption of digital technologies in educational practices has fundamentally transformed the way education is delivered and experienced. Following the COVID-19 pandemic particularly, the world education landscape has almost shifted from traditional classroom-based learning to digital learning mode. This swift integration of technology into education especially in higher education has led to the emergence of virtual, online, and hybrid learning models. This move has not just reshaped teaching methodologies but also introduced new learning possibilities to provide learners with an undisrupted and integrated learning experience. This chapter provides a detailed overview of virtual, online, and hybrid education modalities, focusing on their distinct features along with exploring several strategies that optimize their effectiveness. The chapter further looks ahead to the challenges and recommendations associated with evolving digital transformation in education.
