Hybrid on a Budget: An Autoethnographic Study

This study is an autoethnography which looked at the experience of hybrid teaching of a member of the academic society. It offers insights into the thoughts and actions of a private university lecturer in identifying suitable equipment that is within the limited budget of the said lecturer. The needs, wants and constraints were the main considerations in designing an environment for hybrid teaching on a budget. The findings also highlight the physical and mental demands of conducting a hybrid class. The study produced the S2C2 Model for the setting up of a hybrid environment which in actuality can be used as a basic guide for designing hybrid classrooms for those who are on a budget as well as for those with a limitless budget.
