Academic Programmes
E-Learning Strategies
Blended learning, the dynamic integration of face-to-face instruction with online learning, enhances student engagement while offering innovative teaching experiences for faculty members.
Teaching staff across Egypt have increasingly adopted blended learning in various academic disciplines, from humanities to professional and technical fields. At HUE, faculty members have leveraged the capabilities of Office 365 and its diverse applications to pioneer a model of hybrid learning.
In response to global precautionary measures, HUE implemented online lectures via MS Teams, incorporating MS Forms for quizzes and assignments, MS Stream for recorded live sessions, and MS Whiteboard for interactive discussions. Additional digital tools further enriched the virtual learning experience, allowing students to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The integration of specialised software, virtual simulations, and interactive platforms has supported diverse learning needs across disciplines.
As new curricula are developed at our institution, the possibilities for blended learning continue to expand, ensuring an adaptive and future-ready educational environment.
