Blended & Hybrid Learning

Audio Visual Technology helping inspire and engage the modern academic and student.

Combining online learning with traditional classroom-based teaching is the challenge facing educational establishments in the 21st century. It is generally agreed that blended learning allows students to work independently whilst freeing up tutors to support students in need. Generally, engagement is considered higher than more traditional methods. Hybrid learning, takes the form of online learning with less classroom interactivity, providing further opportunities for people to study.

BYOD

Popular when collaborating back in the classroom, students have been encouraged to bring their own devices to class where they are able to share content they have been working upon with the class for discussion and feedback.

Lecture Capture

Lecture capture solutions have been intrinsic in allowing students to watch and re watch lectures and sessions to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. The ability to go back and watch a class to ensure you did not miss anything, or if you did miss it, watch it first hand, not relying on someone else’s notes is invaluable.
