As we embrace the enduring reality of physical and virtual learning spaces in our educational landscape, we embark on a crucial exploration of their validity. Is this a dichotomy, or is it a seamless continuum? Should this be the central axis upon which we organize educational experiences, or does it intersect and interplay with other dimensions, such as formal-informal, vocational-recreational, open-closed, and teacher-student? How can we adapt as educators, learners, designers, policymakers, and stakeholders to this ever-evolving landscape? How can we shape it to provide an optimal learning experience? These profound questions drove us to organize a series of academic and professional events centered around Hybrid Learning Spaces (HLS), which challenge and transcend the aforementioned dichotomies. This edited book serves as a compilation of the outcomes of that endeavor, presenting a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary perspective on hybridity in education. It seamlessly weaves together practical examples, design guidelines, and theoretical analysis, drawing from the realms of technology research and development, educational theory and practice, architecture and space, and product design. This book caters to researchers, practitioners, innovators, and policymakers in education, technology, and design, offering a broad spectrum of perspectives and then distilling practical insights in the form of design principles, patterns, pedagogical models, and predictions of future trends.
