# Hybrid Seminar

A [[hybrid-seminar]] is a specific type of [[hybridveranstaltung]] that combines in-person instruction with simultaneous remote participation. Unlike hybrid lectures, seminars are characterized by a higher degree of interaction and communication, making them technically and pedagogically more challenging.

## Critical Success Factors
The success of a hybrid seminar depends on three primary factors:
1. **Participant Discipline**: Active cooperation from both local and remote attendees.
2. **Audio Quality**: High-fidelity capture of the room to ensure remote participants can follow the discussion.
3. **Return Channel Management**: Effective use of the [[rueckkanaele]] (specifically chat and audio) to integrate remote voices into the session.

## Technical Implementation
Hybrid seminars are typically realized using web conferencing tools such as [[bigbluebutton]] or [[jitsi-meet]]. To bridge the gap between the two audiences, instructors are encouraged to:
- Use a projector or large screen to make remote participants visible to those in the room.
- Use a dedicated second computer for the stream to avoid technical conflicts on the main presentation machine.
- Employ specialized hardware like the [[logitech-group]] for better room audio capture.
- Mute local microphones during remote speeches to prevent acoustic feedback.
