Description
Summary:The article investigates the best practices of the US universities on providing hybrid and online education that can be implemented at Ukrainian universities which experience lack of finances and a decrease in student enrollment. Basic factors of online and hybrid courses popularity are analysed (flexibility; accessibility, especially for students with special needs; saving time; convenience; motivation as students often feel less stressed in a virtual classroom than in a face-to-face environment). The main challenges of online and hybrid learning (faculty training and professional development for online education (in terms of pedagogy, communication and technology), supporting student learning in the online environment, and creating an efficient and interactive online learning community) are defined in the article. Hybrid courses are regarded as such that promote some equivalence between digital and live communication.
