Desafíos en el aprendizaje híbrido en una universidad del suroccidente colombiano

Higher education in Colombia faces the challenge of adapting to social diversity, expanding access, and ensuring quality through the incorporation of blended learning. In response, since 2021, a university in the southwestern region of Colombia has adopted multimodality as an academic strategy to address this challenge. This experience examines some of the emerging pedagogical and technological challenges within this framework and highlights key aspects related to blended learning.
