Higher education has evolved into a new era post pandemic with a significant rise in teaching courses in an online or hybrid format. A hybrid approach is meant to combine the best of both worlds by blending face to face and online learning which is often preferable for students who started their college journey during pandemic due to the familiarity of content delivery. Hybrid courses ensure that a student has the traditional college experience by engaging in face-to-face interaction for part of the course while also having the flexibility to explore content remotely at their own pace. With proper training and peer review faculty can create an integrated hybrid learning environment which maximizes student learning, offers more flexibility and options to support a diverse range of learners. Cheating is often the biggest concern for traditional teachers while teaching in a hybrid or online environment. Although it may be difficult to prevent cheating entirely, faculty can certainly implement a multitude of tools to minimize it and to reduce its impact on student learning. The outcomes are often comparable when the same course is taught face to face or in a hybrid format when these tools are implemented. As educators it is also our responsibility to instill moral values and ethics in our students who will be a part of this online world for years to come. I would like to engage faculty using white board in zoom allowing them to share their personal experiences and difficulties in hybrid teaching.
