As higher learning institutions find their footing in the new normal, this leading university at the heart of Europe is ready for hybrid teaching in the winter semester.
The University of Luxembourg will implement a blended learning approach depending on class size and health safety guidelines. Lectures involving larger groups of students will be provided in classroom, virtual, and remote formats, while smaller group teaching will be held face-to-face.
In-person classes will be prioritised for first-year students. This is to ensure they can properly settle into their new academic environment.
Besides that, the university will provide collaborative learning spaces within the limits of health and safety regulations, so students can still enjoy the campus experience.
According to Sheena Shah, who studies the Bachelor in European Cultures, the university moved swiftly and efficiently to introduce remote teaching — and it is now paying off in the hybrid learning model.
Why hybrid learning?
“While the social aspect of meeting in person for class is missing and has been hard on everyone, remote teaching allows us to manage our time efficiently and work from the comforts of our own home,” Shah said.

“The professors in my programme really went above and beyond to make remote teaching work. Splitting us into smaller groups in different calls for group work to then go back to the main call to discuss our findings proved to be an effective way to generate discussion and ensure everyone’s participation.”
Beatriz Ribau, who is pursuing an undergraduate law degree at the university, agrees. At first, it was challenging to adjust to online classes but she feels it has made her a better learner.
“We faced some technical difficulties during this phase but professors and even programme directors were always there to support us,’” she said.
“Despite the fact that we were at home, with no classmates to talk to like in a real lesson, I never felt lonely because I had the entire university by my side.”

Other initiatives to support students during these uncertain times include psychological help services and equipment loans to students who may need them.
