Perspectives and possibilities of hybrid education in higher education in the post-pandemic Covid-19 context in Brazil

Digital technologies have played a crucial role during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling secure access to information. The present study aimed to analyze the strategies for adopting digital education technologies for the return to in-person undergraduate courses. The methodology was both applied and exploratory, with a qualitative approach. A semi -structured questionnaire composed of eleven questions was developed and applied. Professors from in-person undergraduate courses at public and private universities who underwent emergency remote teaching between 2020 and 2021 were selected to respond to the questionnaire. Through the research, it was observed that the majority of teachers (97.8%) intend to adopt the use of digital education technologies when returning to their in-person classes, indicating a hybrid approach to teaching that enables the use of these technologies both during remote and in-person instruction.
