It is already April and our academic term is flying by. Our commencement season (in the northern hemisphere at least) is rapidly approaching. Many of us will soon we'll be off on summer break (or winter break, for our southern hemisphere colleagues) and relaxing before preparing for another term. Are you ready for that?
We've been working to provide opportunities for you and your colleagues to be ready for flexible teaching now and in the coming terms. We have workshops, webinars, and our very first HyFlex conference planned to support you. Let us know how we can help you! (and we can help each other)
HyFlex Learning Community Gathering Webinar
Topic: The shift toward "Online Bimodal HyFlex" - is this still HyFlex?
Date/time: Friday, April 28, 2023, 8:00 am – 9:30 am PT.
Registration link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hyflex-learning-community-gathering-april-2023-registration-617245356477
When traditional classes shift over to HyFlex teaching and learning, there is always a move toward online learning. Otherwise, why would you need HyFlex? For some, this shift may become a migration, with all students eventually choosing online options rather than participating in the classroom. (This has been my personal experience post-pandemic.) In this webinar, we'll talk about how and why this shift occurs, and the consequences for learners and teachers. What should we call this? Is it still "HyFlex"?
