HyFlex Class Checklist

Printable version (PDF)

Before Class

• Share materials (slides, handouts, etc.) on Canvas or in another shared space so that remote students have access to them

• Arrive to the classroom early (~15 minutes) to make sure the hardware and software is ready to go.

• Connect the microphone you'll be using and open your presentation or materials.

• Optimize the lighting and other room conditions for the Zoom session.

• Start the Zoom session at least 5 minutes before class. After the first few students connect, make sure they can see and hear you.

Starting Class

• Assign a student or TA to monitor the Zoom window for “raised hands” or contributions/questions via chat.

• If you are recording the class session, remind all students that the session will be recording before starting to record.

• Acknowledge and welcome your students attending remotely.

During Class

• As needed, adjust the camera to face the focal point of attention (you, the whiteboard, a demonstration, etc.).

• Periodically check in with the student assigned to monitor the Zoom to address any questions or contributions (or technical issues).

• Alternate between in-person students and remote students when soliciting input from the class.

Ending Class

• Refer students to any materials that are needed to prepare for the next session.

• Acknowledge the remote students in closing the class and confirm when they can exit the Zoom session.

• Before ending the Zoom session, check to see if any Zoom students want to stay after class to ask any questions. If so, disable recording.
