Abstract

We share our experiences of developing and teaching a hybrid online-offline, intensive academic literacies course for first year undergraduate students. We position hybrid learning as valuable; however, we discuss the necessity of appropriately adapting online formats to enhance student access, engagement and resilience. In sharing what we did and what we learnt, we highlight what may be transferable for other practitioners.
