Session Narrative
With students and faculty preferring more flexibility in course delivery formats, many institutions have moved to HyFlex models, which is a learning model allowing students to choose between in-person, online synchronous, or online asynchronous learning options based on their preferences. To fine-tune HyFlex, the consistent evaluation of the experience, impact and technology is required. Join us to discover not only how UC Berkeley, Roger Williams University, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas deployed HyFlex models with the right technology, but also took innovative measures to ensure all students were set up for success. This will also be a lively, interactive discussion about where attendees are in implementing HyFlex, the barriers experienced, and creative solutions to meet the needs of all students.
Session Reflection
Similar to another session from earlier today, there aren’t many things that I learned in this session. The structure was a panel discussion of AV/IT leaders who talked about HyFlex at their institutions. They talked about the feedback from instructors and students, the considerations that they have made, and how they handle training & support. Based on the things shared, ACC Academic Technology is in-line with what has been shared. This, of course, makes me feel good to know that we aren’t behind the curve. One of the things I have been considering is how do we make classroom AV simpler from the end-user perspective and still allow for some flexibility. Information and feedback shared by the panel is encouraging that we are on the right path…
