What is Hyper-Hybrid Learning

Digital technology is one of the key drivers for the design of new generation learning environments in higher education. However, the affordances of digital technology, in the way it is perceived and actualised by educators and learners are not clearly understood. Drawing on a narrative critical review, this chapter discusses digital technology affordances in a particular context of hybrid learning environments in higher education. It advances a conceptual framework that illustrates the connection between the three key elements of educational digital technology, affordances, and hybrid learning, which could be used to explore and investigate these concepts more clearly and effectively. The chapter concludes by discussing important developments and implications that build an understanding of the use and actualisation of digital technology in higher education, which could have a potential sustainable impact on design practices and student learning outcomes.
