Join us as we explore innovative solutions and practical strategies to advance hybrid and blended learning in higher education.
This webinar is perfect for libraries looking to strengthen their role in supporting access, engagement, and learning in evolving digital environments.
Hybrid and blended learning continue to reshape higher education, but many academic institutions are still catching up. The challenges are real. As they move between physical and digital spaces, students and researchers expect seamless access to resources, whether they're on campus or halfway around the world. Faculty need reliable pathways to licensed content that don't create barriers for their most vulnerable learners. Library leaders are asking tough questions: Are our authentication systems creating digital divides? How do we balance security with usability? What does truly inclusive access look like in practice?
This webinar, hosted by OCLC, brings together two leading voices in digital education to explore how libraries can adapt to meet these changing needs and rethink how they support access, engagement and learning. David White (University of the Arts London) and Dr Maha Bali (American University in Cairo) will share key concepts on understanding digital learning journeys and behaviours. They will provide practical solutions on how libraries can respond with flexible, forward-looking approaches that are aligned with institutional teaching and learning goals.
Whether you’re developing new digital initiatives or refining existing services, this session will offer insights and strategic inspiration. You will leave with ideas to inform your planning, strengthen your library’s role in hybrid education and support your institution’s evolving learning landscape.
