Overview
HyFlex (hybrid-flexible) courses provide an effective method to serve classroom-based students and online students in the same course with the same instructor. HyFlex courses usually provide students with the choice of attending scheduled classroom meetings or online meetings (asynchronous and/or synchronous) on a regular basis, allowing student choice in participation mode and preparing institutions for instructional continuity if classroom access is not possible. Well-designed HyFlex courses can provide a rich learning environment that improves and enhances the class experience for all students, whether online or in the classroom.
