What is Hybrid Learning?
Hybrid learning is where synchronous or asynchronous learning takes place with on-site and off-site students for the same lesson or CCA session.
Before Hybrid Learning is conducted
It is important to ensure that the learning resources are made available to off-site students before the lesson. You can upload the materials (including weblinks or SLS package links) or assignments on your subject Google Classroom.

Models of Hybrid Learning
The following materials are retrieved from the microlearning unit on OPAL. This is for a quick view of the 3 models of hybrid learning. For more detailed information and video guides, please go to the e-lesson package on OPAL .
Asynchronous (Model A)
Synchronous (Model B1 & B2)
Model A : Video recording of lesson
Asynchronous mode of learning
off-site students view a video recording of the lesson after it is conducted
This model is suitable if you are new to recording of lessons, using different devices or platforms.
Equipments You will need
A recording device (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone, video camera, etc.)
A tripod stand (with suitable tablet/smartphone brackets)
An amplifier set or wireless microphone, which is connected directly to the recording device
Please contact School IT team to borrow the necessary equipment and/or obtain IT support in equipment set-up.

Model B1 : Whole Class
Synchronous mode of learning
off-site students attend the 'live' lesson
able to interact with the teacher only.
The model is suitable if you are either
new to conducting 'live' lessons across two learning spaces,
comfortable with navigating between two learning spaces
Equipments You will need
Teacher's laptop (either installed with MOE Zoom or can access Student iCON Google Meet)

Model B2 : Small Group Discussion
Synchronous mode of learning,
off-site students attend the 'live' lesson,
are able to interact with the teacher and fellow student on-site
The model is suitable if you are comfortable
navigating two learning spaces involving on-site and off-site students,
managing multiple breakout rooms, and
consolidating the discussion across two learning spaces thereafter.
Equipments You will need
