Definition of hybrid learning

At UW–Madison, hybrid courses are instructor-designed and supervised environments that use face-to-face and technology-mediated channels to enhance interactive, engaging learning experiences and improve student learning outcomes. These courses should have one or more of the following pedagogical characteristics:

• a shift from teacher-centered instruction to student-centered learning;
• significant interactions between student-instructor, student-student, and/or student-content; and/or
• integrate formative and summative assessments for students and instructors.

On this campus, courses have three technology-mediation designations:

• technology-enhanced: Less than 30% of the course includes technology-mediated learning activities.
• blended: 30-99% of the course contains technology-mediated learning activities.
• online: 100% of the course contains technology-mediated learning activities. – Blended Learning Fellowship Program
