Hybrid education is a model that combines different settings within the learning process. In this paper, four dimensions related to different features of the learning process are considered, namely, space, time, language, and frameset. The first one relates to its location, the second one relates to when it takes place, the third one relates to how it is imparted, and the fourth one relates to the way in which it is conducted. The goal is to modify learning features in each session of a course to increase student engagement and improve academic performance. Additionally, this layout may also help students prepare for potential disruptive events in the future, which might have an impact on the way class sessions are run. The results obtained confirmed a statistically significant improvement in academic performance with respect to the previous course, which was taught in a traditional manner, as well as a high level of engagement. However, the actual sample size was not sufficient to detect the effect size achieved; hence, further research should be conducted with a larger sample size.
