What is Hybrid Learning
Hybrid learning merges the ease and comfort of attending classes remotely with the in-person practical application of theories and techniques taught in class.
Your instructor will discuss fundamental concepts remotely through real-time video chat over the Internet at specified times. Then when the practical application starts, expect to attend on-campus classes for face-to-face learning.
Most of triOS Colleges hybrid programs fall under their Healthcare faculty, which necessitates the application and execution of techniques.
What does hybrid learning look like?
- Everyone follows the same schedule at the same time.
- Class discussions occur via online video conferencing.
- Practical application and learning of hands-on techniques occur in person.
- Your instructor will conduct individual follow-ups.
- All discussions will be guided by your instructor.
- Learn and master the use of new online technology such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams for future work scenarios.
- You are not left alone. Your instructor will guide you throughout the learning process.
*Not all programs are available by hybrid learning.
