A DIFFERENT LOOK AT HYBRID EDUCATION
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated changes in the way we learn, and has taught us that we need to be prepared to introduce hybrid models in pedagogical practices that can respond to unforeseen events, such as those we have recently experienced. Simply delivering a lesson using a digital device is not equivalent to providing quality online education. We need to start designing programs that adapt to the realities posed by these two different environments - analog and virtual - and establish the links that allow the connection of the activities carried out in these environments. In this article, a model of teaching and learning in face-to-face contexts is presented that is based on a fluid transition between face-to-face and online moments. To do so, four elements are essential: a conception based on a new (online) perspective, a new approach to time management, increased student autonomy, and the development of a continuous, formative and diversified assessment system.
