While the concept of online learning is not new, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of this mode of academic delivery, for both learners and education providers. Hybrid and online learning models have redefined the education landscape and are now commonplace, with many institutions implementing hybrid and online modes of delivery in their academic delivery. <\/p>
Recent global higher education surveys demonstrate that learners now want and expect technology to be effectively integrated within their learning. Anthology\u2019s 2022 global survey found that over 80% <\/strong>of students prefer that at least some of their courses or course meetings take place online. 41% of surveyed students indicated a preference for fully online courses, while only 18% of students indicated that they prefer fully in-person courses. This data shows that while there is still a demand for traditional learning modes, institutions will benefit from adopting hybrid and online learning. <\/p> Despite the clear benefits to students, online and hybrid learning can sometimes feel impersonal and faceless, thus leading to higher attrition rates. Therefore, it\u2019s imperative that higher education providers ensure they maintain an engaged community of learners whatever their mode of delivery. Many institutions have developed effective online and hybrid solutions that attract students to study through non-traditional methods. <\/p> The WorldGrad<\/a> is an organization which specializes in sending international transfer students to partner institutions in United States and Canada. Their model allows students to take one year of courses online in their home country for undergraduate studies before transferring to one of their partner schools to complete their degree on-campus. This model enables students to learn at their own pace, while saving costs and receiving quality education.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>Why students love Hybrid and Online Learning <\/strong> <\/h2>
