HyFlex: One Faculty Member’s Recommendations

Abstract

HyFlex is a teaching modality that involves facilitating a class session simultaneously in-person and synchronously online. Ensuring a positive and productive learning environment for all students, regardless of how they choose to attend, requires faculty to incorporate best practices for both modes and to have a certain level of comfort with the technology required to ensure everyone’s needs are met. Technology issues related to and recommended syllabus content and course design for the HyFlex modality are discussed.
