Social Hybrid Learning

This paper explores the integration of Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud Computing (SMAC) technologies in the development of an innovative hybrid learning model tailored to the needs of Generation C learners. With the growing prominence of blended learning in higher education, this study highlights the importance of designing hybrid learning systems that align with the rapid digital evolution and social demands of modern students. By focusing on a platform developed during the 2017–2018 period, the work investigates how such technologies can enhance teaching practices, ease adaptation, and reduce resistance to hybrid learning. The paper outlines a framework for creating socially and digitally responsive learning environments that cater to the dynamic needs of today’s learners.
