Abstract
This chapter examines student perceptions of an AI-augmented HyFlex learning model at a private university in Malaysia, using mixed-methods data from 1,168 undergraduates across 28 countries. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model, Self-Determination Theory, and cultural dimensions theory, the findings show generally positive sentiment (60.7%), with technology effectiveness as the dominant theme. However, acceptance is polarized: while features such as recorded sessions and interactive tools are well received, AI avatar lectures face strong resistance (67.5% negative) due to their perceived lack of human presence. Although overall sentiment does not differ significantly by nationality or academic level, qualitative insights reveal different emphases across groups. The study concludes that effective AI integration in HyFlex learning requires human–AI complementarity, supported by platform reliability and culturally responsive design.
