The HyFlex Collaborative is a community of K-12 and higher education educators working together to improve access to high-quality and equitable learning through Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) learning design and delivery. HyFlex teaching and learning combines online and in-person instruction into a single course/class, allowing each student to determine their participation mode of instruction. HyFlex learning opportunities promote student-centered flexibility for all learners (traditional, adult, and K-12). Flexibility promotes learner retention, progression, and success.
The 2025 Conference seeks concurrent proposals that closely align with the educational practices and principles of HyFlex education in K-12, higher education, adult learning, professional development, and online education. Proposals that report on basic and applied research in HyFlex learning environments are encouraged.
Call for Proposals:
Proposals are welcomed for individual presentations that can share best practices, lessons learned, and address the needs of diverse populations focusing on the HyFlex mode of instruction. The theme for this important conference is directly related to the HyFlexPrinciples of Learner Choice, Equivalency, Reusability, and Accessibility in teaching and learning related to K-12, Higher Education, and Adult Learning.
We are specifically looking for proposals in the following areas:
- Technological Advancements: Explore AI-driven adaptive learning systems, VR/AR technologies, and advanced classroom integration solutions.
- Pedagogical Strategies: Investigate differentiated instruction, personalized learning pathways, and methods to maintain engagement across formats.
- Institutional Frameworks: Examine educator training, student support services, and infrastructure improvements for robust and sustainable HyFlex delivery.
- Equity and Access: Address solutions for overcoming socio-economic disparities and promoting digital inclusion in HyFlex environments.
- Value and Sustainability: Analyze HyFlex learning’s impact on student success, cost-effectiveness, student satisfaction, and sustainability
- Research: Investigate empirical studies and emerging research trends that evaluate the effectiveness, challenges, and innovations within HyFlex learning environments.
