Description: Rooted in both traditional and online learning practices, HyFlex teaching and learning is built upon four fundamental values: Learner Choice, Equivalency, Reusability, and Accessibility, each with a corresponding guiding principle for designers and instructors to follow. These four “pillars” provide a consistent and solid foundation for resulting courses and programs. HyFlex has potential for creating equitable access to instruction while at the same time giving institutions the ability to facilitate continuity of instruction in the event of campus closures. The term HyFlex is a portmanteau of “Hybrid-Flexible” used to refer to a specific course design approach to provide a flexible structure that allows students options for attendance and participation. Students can choose to participate online, on-site, or any combination of both on a weekly or topic basis as they need or prefer to participate. Join us in this workshop to discuss ways we can implement HyFlex teaching and learning at Skyline College.
Objectives: Participants in this workshop will:
Become familiar with HyFlex and its guiding values
Deliberate the pros and cons of HyFlex
Identify ways Skyline can leverage HyFlex to promote equity and access
