    (IEEE, 2018) Nettikadan, David; Ngeze, Lucian Vumilia; Sukhathankar, Heramb; Warriem, Jayakrishnan Madathil
    Hybrid MOOCs introduce the advantages of a flipped classroom into a MOOC setting: online learning, interactive discussions and synchronous face-to-face interactions with the course instructors. During the interactions, learners are encouraged to gather at remote centres (RCs) which encourage collaboration. Hybrid MOOCs emerged as they provide the learners increased support from peers and instructor(s). The presence of instructor in synchronous interactions creates a personalized and active learning experience. The iLTI-QAT Model is proposed to increase the effectiveness of live face-to-face interactions. The model comprises of three phases: query collection, query categorization and query addressal. This model was implemented in 5-week Faculty Development Programme (FDP) course, in which 532 participants were registered. Using the iLTI-QAT model helped in effectively addressing 918 queries categorized in 5 broad themes.
