Abstract
Synchronous hybrid learning environments refer to contexts where remote participants join face-to-face classes in real time through the use of synchronous interaction technologies. Universities are increasingly implementing such learning environments to provide teachers and students with more flexible participation, as well as to bridge the divide between students who attend face-to-face classes and those who learn at a distance. This paper proposes a framework of embodiment and social presence in synchronous hybrid learning environments and makes a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of this framework through interviews of instructors who have taught synchronous hybrid classes mediated by video conferencing or robotic telepresence. The findings partially confirm our framework and add to our understanding of the key factors that facilitate or impede learning in synchronous hybrid classes: embodiment is a means to achieve social presence, and they are integrated with teaching, learning, and collaboration strategies to reach the course goals.
