Trendsconference: Co-Designing Hybrid Learning: Bridging Physical and Virtual Learning Spaces
Hybrid learning is not a new phenomenon in the current educational landscape. In 2025, the traditional boundaries of a physical classroom can be extended not only figuratively but in the most literal sense of the word. University professors interact with live and online audiences simultaneously. Students learn together across spaces, sitting in different physical classrooms, at school, at home, and in different places and time zones. This is the reality of hybrid learning. The trend conference Co-designing Hybrid Learning: Bridging Physical and Virtual Learning Spaces was held on Friday 27 June 2025 at MIJN-werk Heerlen.
At the conference the Hyb-IT-up project team presented the results of a three-year journey and organized interactive discussions and workshops with invited experts and conference participants. This event aimed to stimulate thought-provoking discussions on designing, implementing, and organizing hybrid learning environments by bringing together leading scholars in technology-enhanced learning and digitalization in education.
