Abstract
This chapter, “From In-Person to Hybrid Learning Mode,” explores the transition from traditional to hybrid learning in higher education, a shift accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the benefits of hybrid learning, including its flexibility and adaptability to diverse student needs. The chapter discusses the potential cost savings from reduced demand for physical infrastructure due to increased digital resource utilization. It emphasizes the importance of a collaborative decision-making model involving all stakeholders, fostering a culture of mutual respect and cooperation. The chapter concludes by underscoring the need for continuous improvement and adaptability in the face of uncertainties posed by the pandemic and the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
