Abstract

Hybrid Learning has been described as a combination of online and face-to-face instruction in flow of knowledge. Combining information and communication technologies (ICT) with face-to-face learning can provide increased flexibility and variety for student interaction; cater for different learning styles and increase the speed and efficiency of interaction between teachers and learners. In this paper I have attempted to establish how ICT can best support student learning. I report on the research methodology and findings from an ICT application of Hybrid Learning (HL) implemented with students at the Australian Catholic University (ACU), Australia. The initial application reported in this paper represents the first step in a longitudinal study investigating outcomes from the hybrid learning approach.
