ICT and Educational Sustainability: Innovation Models for Hybrid Learning Contexts

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have profoundly transformed education, enabling the development of hybrid models that combine face-to-face and virtual teaching to ensure continuity, flexibility, and educational quality. These models are essential for addressing global crises and promoting inclusive and accessible education. However, educational sustainability goes beyond the mere adoption of technology, requiring a comprehensive reconfiguration of pedagogical practices, institutional processes, and organisational strategies to ensure the coherent and adaptable use of ICT. Socioeconomic and cultural diversity presents challenges for standardising these models, as many institutions lack adequate resources, infrastructure, and teacher training. This study, through documentary research and rigorous analysis based on the PRISMA method, examines innovative models integrating ICT in hybrid contexts, identifying strategies that foster quality, inclusion, and educational continuity, while emphasising the importance of adapting technological innovation to diverse educational realities to guarantee the sustainability of the system.
