A hybrid asynchronous class is a type of course that combines both in-person instruction and asynchronous online instruction. In this format:
- Students attend some in-person class sessions scheduled on specific days and times at a physical location.
- The remaining course content and activities are delivered online asynchronously, meaning students can access materials, complete assignments, and learn at their own pace without having to log in at specific times.
This hybrid asynchronous model allows a portion of the teaching hours to be in-person while the rest is flexible online work that does not require live attendance. It typically includes a required minimum of in-person meetings combined with online sessions that students can complete on a flexible schedule within deadlines set by the instructor. In short, hybrid asynchronous courses blend face-to-face meetings with online learning that students can do anytime, balancing structured in-person interaction with flexible online study.
