The paper briefly explores the sources of hybridity in technology, politics, and civil society. Hybrid Educational Spaces (HES) is presented as a special sub-category of Hybrid Learning Spaces that treats learning in institutional form. In analyzing the main theoretical and practical differences between education and learning important dimensions are uncovered and discussed leading to a conceptualization of HES. A conceptual model is presented. The model may serve to inform the design of HES. It is concluded that in creating HES institutional obstacles may serve as creative constraints or even possible resources in fostering hybrid educational spaces.
