Hybrid Learning Space Mapping Canvas

A planning template for designing integrated learning spaces

Purpose: This canvas helps you visualize and analyze your hybrid learning environment across three interconnected spaces. Use it to map physical and digital elements, then analyze how learning presence manifests across contexts.

Part 1: Mapping the three spaces of Hybrid Learning

Instructions: Start by visualizing the concrete elements of your hybrid learning environment. Consider what you control, what tools you'll use, and what resources learners bring. Use the spaces below to sketch, draw, or take notes about each context.

In-Person Space

Sketch the in-person setup: Draw the room layout and tech choices [Things to consider: Camera(s) available and positioning, Microphone choice, Display angles, other tech or props]

Digital Environment

Sketch the digital landscape students will navigate. [Things to consider: Main platform(s); Collaboration tools; communication channels; etc. You can also show /diagram how they work together or are connected

Remote Space

Sketch/Map what remote learners might have (or not) that adds value or creates friction. [Things to consider: Physical spaces / limitations, Digital tools / limitations; Unique assets that bring value and tha could be leberaged]

Part 2: Analyze the different forms of Presence Across Your Spaces

Instructions: Now that you've mapped the physical and digital elements, consider how learning presence manifests across these three interconnected spaces. How will you and your learners establish meaningful presence in each context?

	In-Person Space	Digital Environment	Remote Space
TEACHING PRESENCE	How do I manifest teaching presence in physical space?	How do I manifest teaching presence through digital tools?	How does my teaching presence reach remote learners?
SOCIAL PRESENCE	How do learners establish social presence in physical space?	How do learners establish social presence through digital tools?	How do remote learners establish social presence from their contexts?
COGNITIVE PRESENCE	How do learners demonstrate cognitive presence in physical space?	How do learners demonstrate cognitive presence through digital tools?	How do remote learners demonstrate cognitive presence from their contexts?

Using This Canvas

For Planning: Start with Part 1 to map your intended setup, then use Part 2 to design how you'll foster presence across all spaces
For Analysis: Use Part 1 to document your current reality, then use Part 2 to identify presence gaps and opportunities
For Improvement: Compare your intended design with actual experiences to iterate and enhance your hybrid environment
