Ecuador has great potential for biocommerce and ecotourism, with an immense diversity of ecosystems and environments for its size. Our sponsor, the Instituto Tecnológico Superior “Paul Rivet,” will teach the practical elements of working in these industries, with the goal of growing participation in Ecuador. Our project focuses on helping this institute with the development of its hybrid learning program. Students will attend lessons briefly in person, and for the rest of the time, online. We interviewed professors, administrators, and technical experts, visited university campuses, and conducted a survey of potential students. Our sponsor will use our findings and recommendations to inform the development of their hybrid program and to better engage their student population.
