Business not as usual: adapting a business school to hybrid learning in response to the pandemic

This case study explores the response we developed in moving all of a Business School‘s teaching to a hybrid model as a consequence of the pandemic; both in the initial urgent move to 100% online teaching in the first lockdown, through to the preparedness required in anticipating the move to a hybrid model with part face-to-face, part online teaching. In this approach most students experienced half on-campus participation, half online synchronous sessions, underpinned by asynchronous activities, but our plan anticipated sudden interruptions to attendance and the possibility that some students would not be able to attend at all. Participants will be introduced to the frameworks that were applied, the implementation approach and best practice suggestions that have been derived from the experience.
