Abstract

The research aims to analyze the possibilities and limitations of using hybrid intelligence to support distance learning. The research is qualitative and uses the case study method, drawing on data from interviews and focus groups, as well as secondary sources. Content analysis resulted in three categories: conditions for the use of hybrid intelligence, possibilities for learning with hybrid intelligence, and restrictions on the use of hybrid intelligence. The results address the implementation, possibilities, and constraints of hybrid intelligence applications in the context analyzed.
