【 摘 要 】

Higher learning institutions (HEIs) are using different learning modalities to encourage better performance from students in accomplishing course requirements. A hybrid learning environment introduces opportunities for educational leaders, teachers and learners in finding alternative approaches to enhance traditional brick and mortar setting. A hybrid learning environment was introduced to a group of information technology (IT) and computer sciences (CS) students through a learning management system. The mixed methods study sought to investigate students' participation and enthusiasm in a hybrid learning environment. A survey was presented to the students at the end of the semester. The resulting analysis revealed that students prefer online activities but acknowledged that in-class activities help students learn and understand course work. Results further revealed students' insight of how a successful hybrid learning environment should be handled. The results from this research can provide understanding to help guide future attempts of a hybrid learning environment.
