A tool for designing hybrid learning contexts in higher education

Abstract

This paper investigates the opportunities offered by an instructional tool, built to help teachers in the creation of hybrid teaching activities in post-pandemic learning contexts. Teachers will design new hybrid contexts by connecting physical space, digital space, innovative pedagogical approaches and user needs. The starting points are the technical skills acquired by teachers during the period of forced distance learning, the new role of directors and designers of teaching activities assumed by teachers in active learning approaches and the need for new innovative learning environments able to relate the human and technological components. The tool, built within a PhD research, has been tested with the teachers of Politecnico di Milano in co-design and autonomous activities.
