On-site or in-person learning students attend class sessions on university premises differ from the general terms distance or online learning comprising a range of technology-enabled remote learning options e.
More specifically, other terms are commonly used to refer to those learning modalities that combine in-person and distance learning. Blended learning referred to as enseignement hybride in French , refers to how online learning supplements in-person learning. This consists for example of alternating between in-person classes and online exercises for the same course during the semester.

The students may join the class either in person or via a videoconferencing tool and should ideally be able to interact with the class and the instructor regardless of whether they are physically in class or attending the class remotely.
The HyFlex model follows the key principle that learning should be equivalent, regardless of the mode. UNIGE proposes tools that enable synchronous live broadcasting of a class, for instance using live streaming with Mediaserver or Zoom. On the other hand, a class may be recorded with Mediaserver or Zoom and made available to students after the class. In this case, students have access to the class asynchronously. To secure the e-assessment exams and trial exams online , there is another Moodle platform called Moodle-exam.
Its use is exclusively reserved to e-assessment, the reason they can be accessed only with a strict supervision, and they contain modules related to exam coordination. All the classes in which the learning objectives are related to acquiring knowledge or know-how-to-be can be given online. Lectures can be provided on Zoom , with use of the share screen option if a projection of PowerPoint or video is needed: do not forget that following a course during two consecutive hours or more in front of a screen is quite tedious, it is therefore recommended to integrate interactive element into the course s e.
