INTRODUCING HYBRID LEARNING TO LEARNING FACTORIES

Paper i 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.
