Invitation

The Organizing Committee of ICHL2009 is cordially inviting you to participate at the
next International Conference on Hybrid Learning held at the University of Macau.

The word "hybrid" has been made famous by automobile manufacturers. The term
"Hybrid Learning" is no doubt a New Frontier in Education as neither the virtual
resources nor the physical resources alone could provide the best teaching and
learning environment. Intuitively, Hybrid Learning provides a way forward for
educators who are interested in helping students learn. Educators could ultimately
create learning experiences to compensate for the shortcomings of, or least
complement, conventional face2face teaching. The Conference will include keynote
addresses, paper presentations, and workshops. A proposal has been submitted to
select conference papers for a special issue on Human Centric Technology for Hybrid
Learning on IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies.
