Abstract

The expanded use of digital technologies due to COVID-19 outbreak made it possible to try out new learning tools and models on a large scale for innovation development and competencies empowerment. The barrier of accepting the online format has dramatically lowered. People including experts are more willing to participate online. Thus, it has become easier to make international events for a large audience. Hybrid learning model has also demonstrated many benefits like cost-efficiency, cancellation decrease, technology leverage etc. We think that hybrid learning terminology may include physical presence together with online and virtual platforms. Design thinking as a semi-formal method demonstrated application efficiency. This method sets a time frame and general approaches, but at the same time does not limit participants in the choice of specific techniques. This research continues the series of studies about the future of project-based learning using design thinking published in ASEE in 2018 and 2021. This paper explores innovative educational events held in pandemic and post-pandemic times by SAP University Alliances mostly in collaboration with the University of Muenster: Ideathon Challenge 2020, Virtual Research experience – International Project (VRE-IP), Bizarre IT-IDEATHON, International Conference for Information Systems and Design (ICID). For instance, VRE-IP – integrated learning experience scientific based on design thinking methodology that tested the hypothesis of the advantages of using virtual reality for teamwork, creativity, and innovation. Bizarre IT-IDEATHON – unique immersive collaboration to tackle climate change and ecological problems organized in hybrid mode, online and on site. It gathered total of 70 students from 15 different universities with engineering, economics, IT and management background. Participants used design thinking methodology, experts’ interviews, and developed innovative solutions. Various collaborative learning events showed that COVID-19 has not only brought dark sides and uncertainties but also made it possible to develop new innovative opportunities such as the new hybrid approach which proves to be the most effective way of setting up cross-cultural and multinational environment to aimed at learning, connecting, networking, and driving innovations. The outcomes provided in the research could be used to enhance educational strategies, develop problem solving and collaboration. In addition, these findings are relevant for the future of learning.
