Hybrid teaching is the possibility of combining two different ways of organising teaching – distance and face-to-face – in parallel, with some students learning in the classroom in a face-to-face environment and others joining the classroom remotely using various technologies.

This can be the case for home-schooled children, children in isolation due to illness, etc.

Hybrid learning is particularly relevant in the pandemic era and is being further developed in the context of increasing access to education and digitisation.

The project “Digital Transformation of Education” is implemented under the Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan “Next Generation Lithuania”, funded by the European Union’s NextGenerationEU.
