After the wide acceptance of hybrid learning methods in the Harokopio University of Athens, it was decided to explore the support of a lecture video service and its impact in hybrid learning process. Such evaluation should explore the affect of the specific technology in the learning process and focus on the relation between technology and participants and also participants' relations. Towards this direction, the concept of the Hybrid Learning Ecosystem is adopted.
