Abstract Description : Hybrid learning combines face-to-face instruction with online learning while reducing the number of students on campus and/or shifting the number of days in the building [or limited required time via live instruction] by moving some of the course delivery online. Hybrid schools offer flexible learning opportunities (time, pace, place). With just a few required onsite days plus virtual learning days/time, students socially connect with peers and actively engage in learning with their teachers. So… how do you design a successful hybrid school? Join us as we discuss how hybrid schools across the nation are rethinking school and learning practices.
