What is course alignment?
Course alignment is a design process that ensures learning goals, assessments, and course learning activities are all well linked. The learning goals you craft will drive the choice of your formative and summative assessments, which will then determine which learning activities you plan for class time. Making this connection clear and explicit for your students helps to reinforce your course organization, effort in design, and the relevance of assignments and activities.

What is HyFlex Teaching?
The Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) course design delivers a student-directed multi-modal learning experience. Students choose between attending and participating in class sessions in a traditional classroom setting like the highway room, or an online environment. Online participation is available in synchronous or asynchronous mode; sometimes both and sometimes in only one online mode. The four fundamental values that guide HyFlex are Learner Choice, Equivalency, Reusability, and Accessibility (Beatty, 2007)
This group of complied resources will help you to build effective Hybrid-Flexible instructional practices.

What is UDL?
UDL is a framework for accessible and inclusive instructional approaches that meet the needs and abilities of all learners. Universal design for learning (UDL) is a teaching approach that works to accommodate the needs and abilities of all learners and eliminates unnecessary hurdles in the learning process. This means developing a flexible learning environment in which information is presented in multiple ways, students engage in learning in a variety of ways, and students are provided options when demonstrating their learning. UDL provides Options for Perception, Options for Expression, and Options for Comprehension.

What is a Flipped Classroom?
A flipped classroom is structured around the idea that lecture or direct instruction is not the best use of class time. Instead students encounter information before class, freeing class time for activities that involve higher order thinking.
Some of the benefits of a flipped classroom are:
it's flexible and students can learn at their own pace
students take responsibility for their learning
there are more opportunities for higher level learning
it does not use class time transferring information to students
instructors and students get to work more closely and get to know each other better
