INTRODUCING HYBRID LEARNING TO LEARNING FACTORIES

Paper in proceeding, 2023

The ongoing digital transformation of the manufacturing industry needs to be met with new forms
of education and training to maintain a highly skilled workforce. New professional education concepts need
to provide effective learning content that is industry-relevant, of high quality, and easily accessible. To tackle
these challenges, the paper presents a methodology for developing a course founded on a combination of
didactic approaches including blended and hybrid learning, active learning, and flipped classroom.
According to industry needs in South-East Europe, the course design is then applied to selected topics around
a smart assembly workstation, i.e., human-robot collaboration, enhanced quality control, and lean
manufacturing 4.0. The trainings will be offered online, via E-learning and through the partners’ Learning
Factories, i.e., hands-on. Examples of different concepts are presented in each Learning Factory.
