Hybrid learning has offered convenience for learners with time constrains and a solution to schools with classroom and parking space limitations. Since hybrid learning includes the online feature, learners are always reminded of some technical requirements. For example, when New Jersey’s Science and Technology University listed a number of benefits of hybrid learning to learners, they added the note that “It must be remembered that, as with fully online courses, students may need additional hardware, software or a broadband connection to utilize some online materials and complete assignments.” It is true, but the terms such as hardware, software, and broadband connection might concern learners who are digital immigrants or who have limited skills in using computers and internet. In addition, in hybrid learning, learners are assumed to take more responsibilities on their learning than they do in a face-to-face learning environment. Learners' awareness of their roles in hybrid learning is critical to their success in hybrid learning. So, what are their roles in hybrid learning? What should they do in order to be successful? The University of Wisconsin, Milwaukie, developed a website about Hybrid Courses with useful resources. The website provides some useful information which assists learners in deciding if hybrid courses are for them. They can also get some tips for success. Or, learners can find some helpful information in the e-book below.
