How to Create A Hybrid Classroom - The perfect solution for online learning

What is a Hybrid Learning Environment?

A hybrid classroom is a blended learning environment that leverages technology to facilitate collaboration and active learning in any environment, on or off-campus. This type of classroom is becoming increasingly popular as it allows students to learn in a way that best suits their individual needs. In a hybrid classroom, teachers can use tools like video conferencing and online whiteboards to connect with students in other locations, and students can use laptops or tablets to participate in class discussions.

Why is Hybrid learning important in 2022?

There are many reasons why hybrid learning is becoming an increasingly important way to learn. For one, it allows students to take advantage of the best of both worlds – the flexibility and convenience of online learning combined with the personal interaction and support of a traditional classroom. Additionally, hybrid learning helps students develop important skills like collaboration and critical thinking. And finally, it can be a great way to personalize the learning experience for each student.

Summary: Why is Hybrid learning important in 2022?

• The education landscape has changed significantly in recent years.
• Schools and universities are now taking advantage of blended learning environments that leverage agile technology to facilitate collaboration, active learning, and increase student engagement.
• With the rise of online education, students have more opportunities than ever before to learn from anywhere on any device with a connection.

Our Hybrid Learning Cart, a unique design from Applied: UC Mobile Cart 

Our UC Mobile Cart (Hybrid Learning Cart) It was crucial for the design to replicate a lecture experience for students while providing simplicity, flexibility, and an intuitive interface for the educator. On one monitor, the instructor can show content while students are visible on the second monitor. This is important in our eyes because we believe that teachers deserve to have a better chance to build relationships with their class by seeing them at all times.

One of the unique features of the design is its ability to create a native Teams or Zoom environment while simultaneously allowing educators to bring their own devices (BYOD) and use any open UC platform to create their virtual learning environment. 

From a single system, Teachers can easily create, join, and screen share team calls. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for teachers to set up their learning environment so they could focus on teaching their students the important concepts.
