Next Generation Virtual Instruction
After the on-campus kickoff, Smeal Hybrid MAAIBT classes empower you to learn wherever life takes you. But it’s not just live remote delivery that makes hybrid learning so impactful: every virtual session is a true classroom experience for students and faculty, enabled by our state-of-the-art teaching studios built for remote synchronous learning.
Equipped with advanced collaboration tools, including large-format, wall-size tablets for live content sharing and dynamic markup, these studios allow instructors to seamlessly transition between presenting information and diagramming concepts. Students engage with faculty and peers through live discussion and tools like real-time polls, quizzes and breakout rooms.
Hybrid MAAIBT live remote classes deliver the full traditional classroom experience, whether you’re in a home office, hotel room, or anywhere around the world. It’s the best of both options — the convenience of virtual learning and the enrichment of frequent direct engagement with peers and professors each time the class meets.
