Reduzir, reutilizar, repensar e preservar: o reuso de edifícios históricos como estratégia de sustentabilidade ambiental e de valorização do patrimônio
Authors: Donoso Maria Daniela , Lemos Celina Borges
Published: July 2024

Este artigo busca explorar o reuso adaptativo como forma de conexão entre a preservação do patrimônio arquitetônico e urbanístico e a sustentabilidade do ambiente construído. O reuso na arquitetura pode tornar o uso dos espaços mais eficaz sem deixar de preservar a memória, já que uma nova vida é dada a edificações que apresentam potencialidades de uso. Além disso, trazer uma nova função a uma edificação histórica subutilizada ou em desuso significa evitar uma demolição completa e uma necessidade a menos de construção. Edificações históricas representam muito mais do que simplesmente uma construção física, mas também algo que traz identidade e caráter para a cidade e que serve como testemunha da história do lugar. Considera-se o reuso adaptativo uma estratégia de preservação, todavia ele apenas faz-se eficaz se trouxer uma fruição social ao edifício. Neste estudo, a categoria do reuso representa uma nova maneira de se conceber a arquitetura no século XXI. Discute-se, nesse contexto, os motivos que fazem o reuso da arquitetura e da ambiência urbana ser uma alternativa viável, em muitos casos, para a preservação sustentável do patrimônio e para a melhor utilização de um potencial ambiente construído. Também são apresentados e debatidos os critérios que tornam o reuso adaptativo uma estratégia efetiva tanto para a sustentabilidade do ambiente quanto para a preservação do patrimônio. Para ser considerado sustentável, o reuso adaptativo deve preservar o valor histórico da edificação e, ao mesmo tempo, trazer, de maneira holística, vantagens sociais, econômicas e ambientais para a mesma.

Published: July 2024

No presente estudo procuramos analisar o Programa Inspiração Internacional (PII) em escolas do Reino Unido e suas experiências a partir das parcerias com escolas pernambucanas por meio do School Links. Metodologicamente, realizamos um estudo documental, tendo como fontes o currículo do Reino Unido, os documentos do Conselho Britânico, do PII e das escolas inglesas participantes (relatórios, planos de parcerias, sites governamentais, notícias sobre o programa e materiais institucionais). Para análise dos dados, utilizamos a análise de conteúdo categorial por temática e tivemos como categoria analítica: Esporte e a prática pedagógica; e categorias empíricas: educação física no UK e experiencias no School links. Identificamos que 288 escolas inglesas e mais de 100 mil crianças foram atendidas pelo School Links, sendo seis parceiras de escolas pernambucanas. As escolas que investigamos estão situadas no condado de Nottinghamshire - Nottingham - Inglaterra, no Reino Unido. Concluímos que a estrutura do PII tem aproximações com os objetivos das aulas de educação física no UK e que o PII ganha destaque na realidade perscrutada, como um legado social dos jogos que conseguiu se alinhar com os documentos norteadores e as ferramentas propostas. Ressaltamos que o PII também ganha notoriedade ao permitir aos professores e alunos britânicos, o acesso a outras culturas esportivas através das parcerias com as escolas. Outro elemento que destacamos é que devido aos resultados relevantes das parcerias com as escolas pernambucanas e do engajamento dos estudantes, as escolas inglesas continuaram com as ações mesmo após o fim do PII, sendo incorporadas aos currículos das escolas.

Authors: KARGOPOULOS NIKOLAOS , VALENCIANO ALBERTO , KAMPOURIDIS PANAGIOTIS , VASILE ŞTEFAN , URSACHI LAURENŢIU , RĂŢOI BOGDAN
Published: July 2024

The present work deals with the carnivorans found in five Neogene localities in eastern Romania: the Vallesian locality of Păun, the Turolian localities of Pogana 1 and Creţeşti 1, and the Ruscinian localities of Bereşti and Măluşteni. The presented material includes cranial and postcranial specimens, some of which are herein described for the first time. This study includes a re-description and re-depiction of the type material of Lutra rumana Simionescu, 1922 and Promephitis malustenensis Simionescu, 1930, in order to clarify the taxonomic position of these two enigmatic taxa. The carnivoran faunal lists of all five localities are reviewed offering interesting insights into the temporospatial range of the discovered forms. Most localities have only yielded a limited number of species, except from Măluşteni, which shows evidence of at least nine different coexisting forms. Notable occurrences in terms of biostratigraphy include Paludolutra sp. in Pogana 1, Protictitherium crassum (Depéret, 1892) in Creţeşti 1, and a phocid from Măluşteni. This review aims to aid the understanding of the Neogene ecosystems in the north of the Paratethys in terms of faunal contents, biostratigraphy and palaeoecology.

The purpose of this study is to review and understand Vietnam’s measurement of competitiveness for its local authorities. This paper delves into the application of two fundamental metrics, namely the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) and the Department and District Competitiveness Index (DDCI). As Vietnam continues its trajectory of rapid economic development and regional integration understanding the dynamics of competitiveness at subnational levels has great importance. Drawing upon an overview of the competitiveness concept, case study, and perspectives, the article provides a holistic understanding of subnational competitiveness metrics in Vietnam. Results offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders involved in subnational development strategies and economic governance frameworks in Vietnam and beyond. This study also indicates future opportunities and challenges within research on pillars/indices, indicators and their impacts on creating the ease of doing business at subnational level.
Advanced Cyber Attack Detection Using Generative Adversarial Networks and NLP
Authors: P.Ramya P ,   Associate Professor, Department of CSE, Mahendra Engineering College,   PG Scholar, Department of CSE, Mahendra Engineering College, Guntupalli Himagiri Chandra
Published: July 2024

A key difficulty in the ever-changing cybersecurity scene is the detection of sophisticated cyber-attacks. Because new threats are so much more sophisticated and difficult to detect, traditional tactics typically fail. A new technique to improving cyber-attack detection skills is explored in this study. It uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Using GANs' realistic data generation capabilities, possible attack paths are simulated, creating a strong dataset for training detection systems. At the same time, natural language processing (NLP) methods are used to decipher the mountain of textual information produced by cyberspace, including incident reports, communication patterns, and logs. Our approach is based on building a fake dataset using GANs that mimics the features of advanced cyberattacks. A detection model is then trained using this dataset. Simultaneously, we improve the detection model's capacity to spot intricate and nuanced assault patterns by processing and analysing text-based data using natural language processing approaches. We use a benchmark cybersecurity dataset to test the integrated method. The experimental findings show that our GAN-NLP based detection system outperforms existing systems, which have an average accuracy of 85.3%, by a wide margin. It achieves a recall of 93.2%, precision of 92.5%, and accuracy of 94.7%. These findings prove that GANs and NLP work well together to identify complex cyberattacks. Finally, GANs and NLP together provide a potent instrument for better cyber-attack detection. A scalable solution that can adapt to the ever-changing nature of cyber threats is offered by this integrated approach, which also increases detection accuracy and efficiency. Improving the models and investigating their use in a real-world cybersecurity setting will be the primary goals of future research.
A Comparative Study of the Error-Detection Accuracy of Grammarly and Microsoft Word Editor in Formal English Writing
Authors: Alshayban Abdullah
Published: July 2024

This study attempts a comparative overview of Grammarly and Microsoft Word Editor, two software programs used extensively to check and improve English language mistakes, to determine their respective effectiveness across various types of writing. Both of these tools are used across documents ranging from blogs to articles, research reports, and newspapers; samples of these documents are part of the representative corpus. Based on this corpus, the study carries out a detailed analysis to establish the exactness and efficiency of these tools in determining and improving errors in the English language. The findings of this research align with those of other studies, establishing that both tools have different levels of effectiveness vis-à-vis the categories of errors and types of texts. Grammarly, for example, outperforms Microsoft Word Editor in several error categories, such as subject-verb agreement, prepositions, and pronouns, whereas Microsoft Word Editor excels in detecting errors in English tenses. As a result, the research recommends using both tools as complementary resources to ensure comprehensive error detection and correction in formal English writing. Also, the findings provide valuable insights for educators, students, and professionals seeking to advance their writing quality. They also offer a basis for further research into integrating these tools in writing instruction and developing more comprehensive language editing tools.
Decoding Pacifism in Contemporary Diaspora Literature: The Anti-War Message in the Novels of Khaled Hosseini and Tahmima Anam
Authors: Tajmeeh Ashraf , A Prakash , Oli Lamessa , M.R. Bindu
Published: July 2024

In a world where war and destruction are passions, it is truly important to realize that violation is not the ultimate solution to any problem. The true answer lies in resorting to the understanding of Pacifism. Inspired by Jane Addams as a key proponent in criticizing the war, the researchers use Daniel Diederich Farmer’s approach to show how the theory of Pacifism posits that human interactions should be governed by peaceful means rather than resorting to violence or aggression. It advocates the use of arbitration, surrender or migration as methods to resolve wars. In this paper, the researchers use the qualitative method by comparing the novels of two diasporic authors, Khaled Hosseini and Tahmima Anam, which focus on war's consequences on individuals who are displaced from their homeland. The researchers also compare authors' portrayal of the relationship between war and diaspora in their literary works. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of the Pacifism theory by examining examples of marginalized characters in Hosseini and Anam's novels who experience displacement. The result of the study reveals that the theory of Pacifism, which is present in the novels of the select authors, underscores the value of seeking peace and migration as practical solutions.
Reflective Diaries as a Tool for Promoting Learning and Teaching in Higher Education
Authors: Essa Hatem
Published: July 2024

The concept of reflection has become increasingly prevalent in higher education over recent decades, particularly in the domains of teaching and learning. Being a reflective learner means that students can critically evaluate their learning, determine areas of their learning that need further development and make themselves more independent learners. This paper discusses a case study where reflective diaries were used to facilitate and assess both learning and teaching methods. As an assessment method, reflective diaries can assess students’ comprehension of the course content and can also promote critical self-reflection and enhance self-awareness (Biggs, 1999; O’Rourke, 1998). The data were collected through individual interviews and reflective diaries written by undergraduate students at the University of Dhofar. Data analysis indicates that the use of reflective diaries proved beneficial for enhancing both teaching and learning experiences. This is because the process of writing the diaries requires students to reflect on the learning activities that have taken place in class, analyze their own learning and express it in a personal way. Reflective diaries can also enable teachers to evaluate their teaching methods and generate feedback for improving their classroom practices.
Symbolics of ‘The White Cloud of Genghis Khan’ by Chinghiz Aitmatov Through the Spectacle of Mythopoetics
Authors: Syzdykbayev Nurgali A. , Murzagaliyeva Maral , Shokhayeva Karlygash , Mamirova Sharapat K.
Published: July 2024

The presented article is devoted to the most important aspects of the interaction between mythologization and the principles of constructing a symbol in the text structure of original prose fiction. The author attempted to reveal the process of transforming the mythologization and symbolization of the image into one of the conceptual components of the link-building mechanisms in a 'novella towards a novel’ by Chinghiz Aitmatov - ‘The White Cloud of Genghis Khan’. The author focuses on the myth, acting in the structure of the novel ‘The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years’ at the level of symbolic-ideological, idea-bearing, and spatio-temporal paradigm while being aesthetically implemented through composition, plot, image/coding system, certain motives, symbols, and other artistic and aesthetic means and thuswise forming various combining components of cited works into a single structurally whole artistic expression.Aitmatov's artistic endeavour is characterized by the original focus of the myth in solving such universal ontological issues as ‘good’, ‘evil’, ‘betrayal’, ‘meaning of existence’, ‘mystery of death’, etc. Also, to depict the contrast between the eternal universal categories, Aitmatov often resorts to binary opposition. Thus, since the latter performs a structure-forming function in the architectonics of the artwork (determining the dynamics of the plot development), it also helps explain the dynamics and statics of characters and their actions in time and space.  The article reveals the features of mythopoetic means that perform auxiliary functions of expanding the philosophical, ideological, and original artistic concept of the literary work. The conducted study summarized and identified three ways of considering a symbol as a text-generating and text-binding factor: in terms of peculiarities of the author's writing techniques, from the standpoint of its involvement in the general poetics of the writer, and the point of view of the formation of a literary text’s conceptual and philosophical basis.
Beyond conventional teaching towards networked learning
Authors: Sabbaghan Soroush , Brown Barbara
Published: July 2024

With Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) adoption growing, education has seen the emergence of innovative technologies like chatbots. However, little research has examined the impacts of GenAI integration in specialized higher education contexts. This study explored graduate students’ experiences using a GenAI chatbot, PEARL, within a graduate-level teacher education course focused on teaching students how to collaboratively conduct program evaluations using practice cases. Four students participated in our study and shared perceptions of interviewing personas with PEARL when evaluating the practice cases. Thematic analysis identified advantages like enhanced efficiency and accessibility, plus limitations regarding authenticity of artificial interactions. Findings emphasized the continued importance of human guidance and peer learning to enrich GenAI-enabled education aligning with principles of networked learning. Students highlighted the need for ethical considerations despite interacting with artificial entities, underscoring nuanced understanding. The significance of collaborative analysis and ongoing iterative improvements also emerged as themes integral to meaningful learning. Although GenAI presents transformational potential in instructional designs, findings support the use of blended approaches that strategically integrate its advantages with human activity and collaborative inquiry. The study makes contributions by elucidating domain-specific nuances of integrating GenAI into teaching in higher education. Practical implications encourage scaffolding GenAI curricula to promote authenticity and collaborative knowledge construction. Further research could examine variations across disciplines, technologies, and demographics. Overall, as GenAI shapes academia’s evolution, reflective pedagogical examination will be key to evidence-guided integration. This exploratory study presents a preliminary yet important step, unveiling opportunities for networked learning and complexities of GenAI adoption in teaching program evaluation skills in education contexts.
Understanding Inclusivity in Online Learning from a Socio-material Lens
Authors: Wang Yuxuan
Published: July 2024

The global pandemic in 2020 has led to a recent rise of digital technologies in higher education internationally, which seems to make learning less restricted in terms of time and space (Oztok, 2019) and enhance inclusion and engagement in learning. However, it is necessary to distinguish the presence and interaction in online learning from true connectedness and inclusivity. Networked learning, as a concept being constantly explored by a small group of researchers since the 1990s and attracting increasing current attention, is built around the different kinds of connections between students and instructors, as well as human and non-humans (NLEC, 2021). This paper emphasizes the need to be aware of the dimension of connection constructed through the assemblage of humans, materials and discourses. Adopting a socio-material perspective, the assumed high accessibility of online learning and the neo-liberal discourse of a ‘good learner’ are challenged and care is proposed as an approach to improve inclusivity in online learning in higher education. This paper is drawn from the data of a comparative research study that explores the online learning experience of undergraduate students in one case study university in China and the UK respectively. The research consisted of qualitative interviews with students and academics in the case discipline Sociology. The findings suggest a mismatch between students’ and teachers’ perception of what makes effective engagement. Although the teachers recognise certain difficulties in online courses, such as technical issues for organizing small group discussions, arguably the implied neo-liberal message is that hard-working ‘good’ students will always participate, regardless of where or how they learn. However, interviews with students in both contexts show that the specific surroundings in formal and informal educational settings, the interaction and support from peers, and the way their status is recognised in the community concomitantly mediate their experience, in addition to their abilities or motivation. This research contributes by highlighting the potential of emergent forms of networked learning in terms of unveiling the issues of established discourses including neoliberalism. It provides suggestions for future practices by proposing the role of care, supported by the findings, in tackling disengagement and exclusion, and pivoting students around supportive learning. Further, it adopts a socio-material perspective that fills a gap created by the dominance of human-centred research, generating reflections on the use of online materials in higher education.
Supporting small remote school teachers’ professional development through networked learning designs
Authors: Lund Sandra , Jaldemark Jimmy
Published: July 2024

Equal education is a buzzword, but the description of how it will arise differs. Spatial educational inequality is shown in several studies, and one explanation of this is the lack of professional development for teachers in remote schools due to the distance to peers. In the small remote schools, the teachers are few, and they are often solitary teachers, according to grade and subject. Therefore, the networked learning design needs to be adapted to these unique conditions. In this study, networked learning is put in the context of rural education, more specifically in relation to teachers’ professional development. In rural and remote schools, networked learning designs enabled by digital technologies can afford equal education. The web-based professional development could compensate for the distance between schools. Therefore, the aim of this study concerns the relationship between networked learning designs and the professional development of teachers in small remote schools. It is guided by the research question: How is networked learning designed and arranged to support teachers’ professional development in small remote schools? The sampled data contains transcripts from meetings and interviews from an ethnographic study. The study applied the theory of practice architecture (TPA) to analyse the data. The concepts of sayings, doings, and relatings from TPA provided the analysis to understand the studied practices. In TPA, these concepts and practices all ‘hang together’ in a project. The project in the studied practices is professional development. The preliminary findings show the networks emerge in the district of several small remote schools and are arranged in two different networked learning designs. One is meetings in real life, with time-consuming travels, but a networked learning design with many social aspects embracing time for dinner and visiting different schools. This design enabled sensemaking, an important process in remote areas, including meetings adapted to the sense of place. The other networked learning design for professional development in the district was web-based meetings, including fewer social arrangements but a higher frequency of meetings. When this meeting was combined with real-life meetings it worked well and enabled sayings, doings, and relatings in the professional development practice.

In an age of ‘deepfakes’, designing learning media and video intentionally and ethically becomes more important than ever. Emerging educational research focuses on generative large language models, which use neural networks to produce human-like text based on prompts. Yet the educational design of synthetic media, particularly AI-generated avatars, which are also currently produced from text prompts, remains less explored. This paper share insights from an ongoing evaluation of realistic, AI-generated avatars as educational presenters at a large Australian metropolitan university. Using commercially available software, we created a suite of AI-generated avatars and accompanying interactives to explore the topic of ethics in business intelligence which was delivered to approximately 1200 students across two semesters in 2022 and 2023. The aim was to provoke critical discussion around ethical decision-making with AI by immersing students in text-to-video technology as part of their learning experience. To better understand students’ perceptions of synthetic media as a stimulus for learning, we conducted four focus groups over two iterations of the course. Our multidisciplinary team also documented the design, development, and implementation challenges of AI-generated avatars. Preliminary findings suggest that clarifying design intentions is key to the effective and ethical application of AI-generated avatars. Automating video content with synthetic media to simplify certain types of educational content could be a catalyst for increased sharing and collaboration. While traditional video formats may prove a simpler choice in the short-term, this study indicates the potential of more hybrid human and nonhuman representation in certain contexts. Students were comfortable with synthetic media use and blending humans and nonhuman elements, expressing a desire for greater interaction with both. We propose a posthuman perspective on AI-generated avatars, one which acknowledges the messy and entangled nature of learning and teaching with technology, that often surfaces issues of ethics and power. To assist educators, ‘VIEW’ is outlined, a brief educational design guide for AI-generated avatars that considers aspects such as the intentions or purpose of the video, the suitability of video as a medium, implementation, and ethical questions. Finally, we suggest more critical and ethical studies on the emergence of synthetic media applications in higher education are needed.
Beyond the Comfort Zone

Published: July 2024

The primary objective of this autoethnographic study is to investigate how lecturers’ attempts to use augmented reality (AR) in the vocational educational context contribute to their transformative learning (TL) journey. The first author of this paper, referred to using the pronoun ‘her/she’, is a vocational lecturer pursuing her doctoral degree in technology-enhanced learning (TEL), has examined the evolution of her pedagogical perspectives by critically analysing and reflecting on her experiences learning and adopting AR technology in her anatomy classrooms. She also explored and unpacked her educational experiences in the past and the social and cultural contexts in which they occurred to gain deeper insight into her previous and current beliefs about TEL. Her autoethnographic writing in this paper shares her struggles and growth, underscoring the significance of scaffolding and professional networked learning opportunities in nurturing transformative learning in lecturers. In collaboration with the second author, her doctoral supervisor, the first author has drawn more meaningful and robust findings from collecting and comparing other lecturers’ experiences implementing AR in similar pedagogical situations. The authors’ discussion sheds light on the often obscure process of how educational professionals challenge and change their long-held pedagogical perspectives on the usefulness of technology for their teaching and student learning. The paper also reveals the cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of professional learning and highlights the role of professional networks in facilitating transformative learning experiences. The findings, derived from personal reflective narratives, self and member-checking interviews, and TL analysis, suggest that a strong sense of ownership, extensive classroom experiences, and commitment to critical reflection played crucial roles in supporting the learning journey. However, this experience transcended the mere acquisition of new knowledge; the study depicts a transformative journey wherein theory recognised a fundamental shift in perception through instrumental learning, emphasising the evaluation of cause-and-effect relationships via critical reflection of actions. Therefore, within the realm of TL, this study may contribute to theory by asserting that critical reflection not only serves as a medium for learning but also functions as a tool for shaping the process of learning itself. The dissemination of such pivotal insights becomes imperative for educators, empowering them to make judicious and well-informed decisions, thereby fortifying their preparedness for a transformative journey that, if embarked on without adequate support, may prove elusive.
Generative AI
Authors: Moy Magdalene , Feldstein Andrew
Published: July 2024

This paper reports preliminary findings from an ongoing, campus wide research project on effective methods for generative AI applicability in pursuit of effective and engaging teaching and learning activities. Generative AI has had a tremendous adoption rate since the public release of ChatGPT 3.5 on November 30th 2022. This has necessitated that educators and administrators consider the potential opportunities and threats usage of generative AI by students and faculty may have on higher education. Recognizing the inevitability of generative AI, the researchers have proposed a university-wide research project to ascertain the changes in faculty and students perspectives when using generative AI The research project is two-fold. First, a longitudinal survey has been developed to address research questions about usage and perceptions of generative AI change over time.
The second prong of this research project focuses on the implementation of new and continuing generative AI professional development workshops. These “AI Institutes” are targeted educational opportunities to provide faculty, staff, and students with hands-on experiences that model appropriate ways to teach and learn with generative AI tools. Workshops change based on audience needs, but will be designed to support such processes as introductory and advanced lessons on building learning activities which engage students with generative AI, administrative shortcuts, best practices for writing, and our university’s AI policy and principles.
The longitudinal survey, thus, allows the research team to gauge changes in perspectives as the “AI Institutes'' are deployed and widespread adoption of generative AI tools become more mainstream. This paper reports on the first year of this research project, including one survey and one AI Institute.
This research on integrating generative AI technologies into teaching and learning has important implications for the field of networked learning. As the paper explores, rapid advances in AI are changing how students and faculty interact with content and each other. Findings from the longitudinal survey and AI Institutes could provide insights into how to thoughtfully leverage these emerging tools to enhance connections, dialogue, collaboration, and co-creation of knowledge within digital learning networks. 
While further research is needed, this project takes an important first step in assessing faculty and student perceptions that can inform appropriate AI integration. Lessons learned could guide other institutions exploring the potentials and pitfalls of weaving generative AI into networked learning ecosystems.
From Craftsmanship to Connectivity

Apprenticeship is a long-valued form of workforce learning. Historical models of craft apprentices learning a trade from a master have prevailed for centuries. In more recent eras, apprenticeship programs have proliferated in industrial sectors and are now facing a revival in corporate settings (Fuller & Sigelman, 2017; Federal Reserve Bank, 2019). However, corporate programs today face different challenges than earlier renditions. Specifically, programs today must enable learning outcomes in a digital context, as professional work today increasingly involves digital or hybrid working environments. Much of the existing literature on apprenticeship focuses on the nature of the craft apprenticeship or the specific features of cognitive apprenticeship within a developmental relationship. Given the rapidly growing number of modern corporate apprenticeship programs, it is essential to understand how learning happens in these dynamic environments. This paper analyzes interview data and five participant case studies to examine a modern corporate apprenticeship program at a multinational consulting firm. The program is a full-time and fully paid learning and working experience for non-degree candidates. It operates in 40 cities across the United States and has enrolled over 2,000 apprentices. Apprentices have formal and informal learning experiences throughout the program, including on-the-job learning. They also work in geographically dispersed teams via a hybrid workplace that is predominantly virtual. Emic themes reveal that digital tools afford apprentices access to a broader networking environment, level up independently, engage in informal betterment with experienced others, and participate in shared discovery and problem-solving with peers. However, situated learning in a project context and strong relationships with various experienced others are equally essential to the digital tools. Drawing upon epistemic lenses of learning that consider how technologies enable learning across multiple activities, environments, and relationships, these findings paint a picture of how apprentices collaboratively engage in value-generating activities as mediated by technology and engage in networked learning.

In this paper, we explore the concept of hybrid learning in the context of a project aiming to transform the master programmes at Gulu University in Uganda by incorporating problem- and project-based learning (PBL) and the use of digital technologies to prepare graduates to lead community transformation and improve employability. Teachers are experimenting and piloting PBL and digital technologies. Based on the teachers' experiences this paper provides insights into how PBL and hybrid learning are being enacted by teachers and learners in the context of a resource-constrained university environment. What are the challenges of bringing these principles of hybrid learning and PBL together in a resource-constrained environment? The paper understands hybrid learning as the development of a new quality of learning environments that goes beyond a mere mixture of elements, e.g. digital and analogue, on-site and off-site. In this paper we are particularly concerned with exploring how the new PBL hybrid practices are developing, with a interest in how digital tools are integrated into teaching and learning. This paper is based on the results of a co-construction workshop with teachers and researchers based on their experiences from the first pilot phase. The results of the study suggest that flexibility is a core concept in relation to PBL-hybrid.  Hybrid learning involves flexibility in terms of how learners carry out educational activities, how PBL is implemented, the use of many different technologies and the use of both analogue and digital learning tools and spaces. Moreover, to achieve hybrid learning, the types of flexibility and technologies, as well as the mix of digital and analogue tools, depend on the specific context of the educational activities, as well as on the competences of learners and teachers. As such, hybrid learning needs to be seen as a concept in relation to the contexts in which it unfolds. This insight is important for networked learning, which cuts across contexts, actors, materials/spaces and digital/analogue modalities.
