About ICHL

The International Conference on Hybrid Learning (ICHL) is an annual international conference with the main focus on the hybrid mode of learning - a combination of the online learning or e-learning and the traditional face-to-face learning. The purpose is to bring together researchers and developers from education and computer science to advance the research of hybrid learning.
