Abstract
Hybrid learning provides flexible, inclusive, and equitable access to high-quality education - particularly essential for regional universities where students are geographically dispersed. This mode of delivery supports participation for students who may be balancing employment, caregiving responsibilities, or living far from campus. It directly aligns with national priorities, including the Future Made in Australia Act (Albanese, 2024) and the Australian Universities Accord Final Report (2024), which emphasise widening participation and strengthening digital capability in Australian higher education. Hybrid learning also develops students’ digital literacy, remote teamwork experience, and ability to navigate multiple communication platforms. These skills are increasingly vital for contemporary workplaces and enhance student employability. However, despite these benefits, hybrid learning requires intentional design and facilitation to ensure that both in-person and online learners experience equitable engagement and access to learning resources.
