مستخلص: For years, there has been a sense of confusion and contention about the meanings of key terms such as online learning and hybrid learning. Additionally, there has been a lack of consensus on how to name different variations of online and hybrid learning (e.g., hyflex learning, synchronous online and hybrid elements, and asynchronous online and hybrid elements). To address the ongoing debate about how terms related to online and hybrid learning should be defined, a survey was conducted asking participants to indicate the extent to which they agreed with the following terms and their definitions: (1) Online learning: All instruction and interaction is fully online (synchronous or asynchronous); (2) Hybrid learning: A blend of online and in-person instruction (online instruction is synchronous or asynchronous); (3) Hyflex learning: Students can move between online and in-person instruction as they see fit (also referred to as multi-access or co-modal learning); (4) In-person learning: All instruction takes place in an in-person setting. (5) Synchronous learning: Instruction takes place in real-time and requires student presence (in-person or virtual) at a set time; and (6) Asynchronous learning: Instruction is available for students to access at a time that works best for them. The purpose of this report is to provide a brief overview of the findings from this study.
