These two terms are synonymous and can be used interchangeably. In Spanish, the widely promoted academic term is “aprendizaje hibrido”. In English speaking North America the more commonly used term is Blended learning. If we were to attempt to semantically dig for a distinction between the two terms I would say hybrid learning captures the essence of the degree to which success in these learning environments truly depends on teacher innovation. Today technology is a tool not curriculum. Instruction in blended learning environments should be based on choosing the tool that best enables learning. Successful adaptation of a lesson to that new tool results in a “hybrid” version or innovative pedagogical prototype of the traditional lesson. Whereas the term blended learning lends itself to be under-interpreted as simply including technology in your classroom and ignores the pedagogical component. Follow me on twitter @inabble
