Welcome to our May newsletter. We have a busy summer planned, as we're sure you do. Here are a few community highlights we thought might interest you.
HyFlex Learning Community Gathering Webinar
Topic: HyFlex in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Courses
Date/time: Thursday, June 1, 2023, 8:00 am – 9:30 am PT.
Registration link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hyflex-learning-community-gathering-june-2023-registration-638333963067
HyFlex in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Courses? Certainly! These are courses with lots of problem-solving and hands-on practice (labs, studios, etc.), and are often hard to convince faculty that they can work in HyFlex. Yet many STEAM faculty do find ways to teach students in multiple modes effectively - let's discuss what we know about this in our gathering. We'll briefly review published literature and hear from those teaching STEAM courses using HyFlex practices.

HyFlex Course Design Workshop June 12-16, 2023
Our next HyFlex Course Design workshop for 2023 is happening June 12-16, 2023. We still have several registration "seats" available. This fully online workshop includes five 90-minute synchronous sessions (M-F, 6/12-6/16), supported by online resources and asynchronous discussion activities each day. Fully asynchronous participation is also supported. Participants can earn up to two HyFlex Learning badges for workshop activities and the completion of all assignments. For a full description and the opportunity to enroll, visit https://www.hyflexlearning.org/workshops/ If you'd like information on how to register groups (discounts for groups of five or more), pay for registration other than with a credit card, or arrange a customized cohort workshop for your own faculty and designers, please contact us at hyflexlearning@gmail.com.
The 3-Steps for Transitioning to HyFlex workshop is now offered as self-paced asynchronous instruction with rolling admission dates. You have up to 6 weeks to complete the workshop from the date you start the workshop. Read more about this in the blog post linked below or at https://www.hyflexlearning.org/workshops/
