Hybrid Learning: Level up your Productivity

The average attention span of a student is about 40 minutes but the lectures and classes span from 90 minutes to 120 minutes. We’ve all been through this phase where we had to sit for hours in boring lectures thinking about the fun stuff that could’ve been done instead of just sitting and listening. If only hybrid learning was introduced earlier, life would’ve become a whole lot easier.

Since 2020, there has been a massive shift towards digitization. During this change, hybrid learning got the spotlight that it always deserved.

Since hybrid learning is here to stay, educational institutions worldwide are adopting it to serve their students more constructively.

So how can Hybrid Learning be defined?

Hybrid learning is an educational model where some students attend live classroom sessions online and the other half attend in person. Educators teach the remote and in-house students all at the same time. This is possible through necessary software such as Jamboard, Padlet, etc.

Hybrid learning for students is more attainable when asynchronous elements are integrated like pre-recorded lectures, video tutorials, and guides. These courses have shown a boost in students’ abilities. They engage more and are quite happy with in-person as well as online classes.

Confusion: Hybrid learning vs Blended learning

Blended learning is the modernized way of receiving education these days. In this type of learning, you’re engaged in face 2 face teaching and online teaching experiences for better guidance.

If you’re a campus-going student and somehow miss an important lecture, you can access it on an online portal assigned by the instructor.

Even if you’re situated remotely, you’re still getting the lecture room experience from your instructors and the engagement level is best. Video conferencing tools are actively used as well.

How does Hybrid Learning boost productivity?

1- Flexibility

A hybrid learning environment gives the students much flexibility. They can attend classes at home. Students are not bound to attend classes on campuses anymore. 

2- Learn at your own pace

Hybrid learning is well suited for slow learners, as pre-recorded lectures and live virtual classes help them to score better in their exams. 

Other than sitting completely blank and confused in your classroom, you can always turn on pre-recorded lectures and learn at your pace.

3- Effective use of resources

In a hybrid learning environment, you stay well aware of what you need and how you’ll be using your resources when it’s time. You stay organized and productive always.

4- Self-learning

Once you adapt the hybrid learning model, you’re given a greater chance to explore your educational field. This opens a brand new door to self-learning. Not only are you productive but have a greater chance at growing in your field of studies. 

Here are some tips to succeed in the hybrid learning environment:

1. It is extremely important to set your goals for the semester. Passing the semester should not be your only agenda, your goal should be clear as to what exactly you want to achieve in life. You must not only learn but gain hands-on experience too.

Conclusion

Hybrid learning was present before as well but it got more attention after the worldwide panic. It was the only best way to support learners during this time of uncertainty. But fortunately, everything is stable, convenient, and agile enough even after the changing tides. 

While everybody has embraced the world of hybrid experiences, why is your learning system still disorganized? Remember the key to unlocking productivity is to diminish any sort of procrastination from your life!

So stop procrastination, and accept hybrid learning.
