HyFlex Instruction

Instructors and professors need to think about online instruction pedagogy and strategy before or at the same time as planning in-person instruction. COVID-19 has accelerated our need to recognize the benefits of having the flexibility to shift to hybrid or remote instruction, both for instructors and learners.

Ideas and tips for:

  • designing with online instruction in mind first
  • benefits of flipped classroom approaches
  • why you should at least record–and aim to simulcast–your in-person instruction
  • community building in online or hybrid classes
  • time management for instructors and students
  • district-wide solutions
  • assessment
  • instructor support around developing and using new tools and resources
  • investing in schools, students, and teachers and professors
