Abstract
Educational environments have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and have evolved to support classes, which involve in some cases synchronous hybrid learning environments. These environments enable students attend classes online and on-site simultaneously. Synchronous hybrid environments provide a greater flexibility for students but, in contrast, are likely to increase teachers’ orchestration load and decrease interactions between students, especially between those online and those on-site. This study proposes a scenario to explore the factors affecting the orchestration load and the student interactions in collaborative and synchronous hybrid learning environments. The scenario involves the use of a collaborative learning flow pattern (jigsaw) and the technologies that will enable the data collection to understand such factors affecting to orchestration load and interaction. The outcomes from the implementation of this scenario will provide useful insights to further understand the benefits and limitations of synchronous hybrid learning environments.
