The aim of this study was to analyze the learning experience of students in the face of a hybrid teaching model developed and applied during the academic semesters 2020.2 (pre-vaccination), 2021.1 (during vaccination) and 2021.2 (post-vaccination) during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the analysis, qualitative and quantitative data were collected throughout the semesters using a questionnaire with sociodemographic, technology/education, pandemic, and topic perception questions. Summative data was also collected from activity grades, the theory test, and the final average. Results were analyzed using the RE-AIM instrument, which assesses the domains of reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. A total of 102 students participated in this study, 74 females and 28 males, with a mean age of 23.4 years (±2.3). The majority of students had a WiFi connection (95.1%) and accessed the online classes using laptop (69.6%). According to the RE-AIM domains, students found the course effective (97%) and felt prepared for their professional future (70.6%). There was no difference in the average scores of the classes, all with an average above 80% (p>0.05). Regarding the different moments of the pandemic, even with increased anxiety during vaccination, there was no change in performance and perception of the format of the course. The teaching method demonstrated to be effective and was positively perceived by the students at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of the stage they were in, and could be an alternative for subjects wishing to integrate educational technologies into the curriculum.
