hybrid learning

Mixed-mode instruction

Hybrid learning combines in-person and online instruction, with students alternating between physical classroom attendance and remote participation.

The term gained wide currency during the COVID-19 pandemic when schools adopted mixed formats: The district shifted to hybrid learning, with students attending in person two days a week.

Sometimes used interchangeably with blended learning, though hybrid typically emphasizes the split-location aspect rather than just incorporating digital tools.
