LECON: Learning co-configuration in hybrid teaching and learning environmentThere have been recent changes in the education system all over the globe due to COVID-19 outbreak. Hybrid learning has become an optimum solution for teaching and learning during a pandemic when various degrees of course hybridization allow students to stay home and resume in-class learning when it is possible. However, besides the indisputable benefits of hybrid learning, our literature review demonstrates the scientific gap between what is designed and organized by teachers and what is performed by students due to socially situated learning nature when students, being active participants of the learning process co-configure the tasks, methods, modes, and tools. This is why the present project is focused on the students learning experience in hybrid teaching and learning environment. The research framework grounds on the HY-SUP typology of hybrid learning systems that consists of six types of hybrid course designs and offers a mixed-method methodology to define and evaluate the effects of student's co-configuration of the course on learning outcomes in each of the types. Specific objectives of the project are: 1) to describe course design types according to the HY-SUP typology; 2) to describe students' co-configuration in six course designs; 3) to understand learning co-configuration performed by students according to representations of hybrid learning environment and cognitive characteristics. Understanding and describing these issues will help to improve the hybrid learning environment and adapt it more to nowadays' students' needs. This gives possibility to come closer to the process of learning in hybrid learning environment, to stay focused on the process and the results of learning.
