HYPES project - Assessment of learning in hybrid learning environments in higher education: what methods and tools ?

This research was conducted as part of the HyPES project, which aims to study hybrid systems in higher education.
The study primarily builds on the results of a previous European project that developed a typology of hybrid systems based on five main dimensions: (1) integration of in-person and remote learning, (2) mediatization, (3) mediation, (4) the degree of openness of the system, and (5) human support.
This earlier theoretical framework has been enhanced by research aimed at developing an integrative model to address the complex dynamics involved in co-constructing hybrid learning environments. Two significant modifications have been made: the inclusion of variables that capture the interaction between students and digital teaching and learning environments, and the addition of a dimension related to the assessment of learning.
The focus of this communication is on the study of this latter dimension. The responses of over 170 French-speaking higher education teachers to an online questionnaire were analyzed. The way teachers design assessments in hybrid systems and the digital tools they use for this purpose will be described.
As this research progresses, the typology of hybrid systems will be updated to incorporate this evaluative dimension, thereby characterizing the systems and assessing their quality.
