Abstract

The global pandemic has accelerated technological development and uptake of technology in daily life, at work and in education at a remarkable pace. Hybrid delivery was quickly identified as a potential solution, akin to a silver bullet, for addressing changing attitudes towards location, for optimising pressures on space, and for meeting heightened expectations of how technology improve learning and teaching. Experienced practitioners warned that hybrid engagement required courage, confidence, and compromise, yet expectations pushed institutions to invest rapidly in infrastructure and training to facilitate at least a minimum level of hybrid delivery. We are now at a point at which hybrid practice is still raw for many people, and reasonable pedagogic approaches are still evolving, while hybrid continues to blur boundaries between distance and campus-based education. Therefore, it is a good time to look back at how hybrid has evolved both as a concept and a practice, based on historical observations spanning 35 years of hybrid delivery. This talk aims to identify pathways for thinking about hybrid to help focus on its purposeful use and to determine areas of practice and research that may lie ahead of us.
