Thanks, Brian – it is indeed a frustrating situation since the AD in question is the AD of Teaching and Learning… Someone help me.

I’ve been considering approaching it from a SoTL research perspective and seeing if I can find some funding that way. But I appreciate your suggestion of looking more broadly – we are not per se part of a broader system of schools like you folks in California but I’ll keep hunting for any available sources of development funding at different levels for sure!

Thanks for the commiseration – it’s been a week!

Received word today that my application for funding to partially develop an online asynchronous version of a course (as the foundation for hyflex) was rejected. Here’s the rationale:

“One item that seemed contradictory was the description of the project as HyFlex but the goal is to create 2 modules of the course in an online, asynchronous format. HyFlex is a synchronous teaching mode delivered in real time both in-person and streamed. There is merit to developing asynchronous content if HRMT 450 is re-designed as hybrid asynchronous.”

How do you all approach further educating those around you that online asynchronous is the foundation for hyflex (which the allows for delivery and participation in all three modalities)? This feedback is coming from an Associate Dean. The reason I could only create 2 modules is because that is all the budget of the funding allowed for… Frustrating.

Thank you so much – this is a really great point! I have already submitted my application (fingers crossed) but I’m still going to look into this.

Thanks Lance – that’s a great thing to consider!
