According to the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee (2014), hybrid learning consists of three components: Web-based activities are used to supplement traditional classroom (face-to-face) time Decrease in face-to-face time Web-based activities and face-to-face time should weave concepts and lessons together

In 2003, American Society for Training and Development found that hybrid learning is becoming a top trend (Bonk & Graham, 2006, p. 3) Hybrid learning can improve pedagogy, increase access and flexibility, cost-effective (Bonk & Graham, 2006, p. 8-10) Hybrid learning is being used for children and grades of all ages The combining of classroom and face-to-face may occur from kindergarten until the completion of a college degree
