  7. What is a HyFlex course?

  8. HyFlex Design Principles • Learner Choice: Provide meaningful alternative participation modes and enable students to choose between participation modes weekly (or topically). • Equivalency: Provide equivalent learning activities in all participation modes. • Reusability: Utilizeartifacts from learning activities in each participation mode as “learning objects’ for all students. • Accessibility: Equip students with technology skills and access to all participation modes. Note: these are universal principles - generally applicable to all HyFlex courses.

  18. Questions … How are HyFlex courses different than what we are already doing? Is this additional work for the instructor? … for the students? Can students develop media skills in alternative venues? Will students take advantage of the flexibility? Distance options?

  19. Program Issues • Instructor Performance (interest, skills) • Student Performance • Program Content • Institutional Support (College, University) • Synchronous Online Technologies • Course Development Support • Administrative System Flexibility

  22. Commentary • Largest amount of “flex” in larger F2F sections (N=15; 15 week course) • Online students choose online option for good reasons that may prevent F2F participation • Some students do not flex at all; but all report positive aspect of choice
