Abstract: – Responding to the pandemic, universities have been making great strides to improve their students' online learning experiences. Still, more effort is required, as it always has been. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, educational institutions hastened to improve their online course offerings. A lot of universities have made the hasty decision that it's best to create an online environment that's almost identical to the real thing. The decision by some colleges to return to online learning for the last days of the term highlights the need of institutions becoming ready for the future of flexible, hybrid learning, since there has been a significant uptick in these cases. Artificial intelligence (AI) and other types of educational technology may have a significant impact on how schools are structured in the years to come. It is the hope of the proposed research that AI and other forms of educational technology can facilitate a smoother shift from conventional to hybrid classrooms and, by extension, better instruction for students. The project will gather data from the educators using quantitative approaches and a descriptive research style. A master validity statistic-validated, well-structured questionnaire will serve as the data collection tool. A non-probability sampling technique will be used to choose the sample, with a margin of error of 7%. The research will involve two hundred teachers. For the purpose of data analysis, SPSS and AMOS will be utilised. Based on the study's findings, AI has a major influence on improving hybrid teaching, and different demographics of educators have diverse perspectives on hybrid teaching.
