About this Course

Teaching HyFlex Flipped gives instructors an introduction to the ins and outs of teaching with a flipped, hybrid, AND online classroom. We will provide you with resources in the form of external videos, websites, and examples.

By the end of this course you will:

• Have knowledge of the basics of flipped/hybrid classes, what is known and not known in the literature, and where these learning methods are heading,
• Be able to develop online (video lecture) content as well as in class active learning activities for the hyflex flipped classroom,
• Be able to organize your course for a hyflex flipped environment, and
• Possess a toolbox of strategies for designing and assessing both the students' learning experience as well as your teaching.

The Course Outline

You can expect to spend as little as 1 hour or as much as 10 hours or more per module depending on your preferred level of involvement. Each module has an A, B, and a C part, so you get to choose your level of involvement depending on which parts you decide to complete.

Module 1 -  What is the hyflex flipped classroom all about and why would I want to hyflex flip my course?

Module 1 will introduce you to the concept of a hyflex flipped a classroom and get you started thinking about how this pedagogical approach fits into your teaching and classroom.

Module 2 - How do I use technology in and out of the classroom? How do I create an online lecture video? What tools are available?

Flipping the class puts what used to be 'in' the classroom (typically the lecture) 'out' of it (that is what this module is about), and what used to be 'out' of the class (typically examples, peer learning, homework) 'into' it. You will find out about the types of videos that can be created, and you will be encouraged to create a video of your own. Hyflex flipping takes that one step further. In addition to flipping, the classroom now includes both in person, virtual, and online (asynchronous) students. This "brave new world" of education provides the flexibility for the students to join in the educational experience in many different ways. Education meets the students where they are.

Module 3 -Active and Engaged learning improves both the student experience and outcomes. How can I engage both my in person class and my virtual class?

Active learning is a great strategy to include in your classroom that involves anything that engages all students in active thought in the classroom.  Talking with peers, trying out problem solving strategies, etc. are all ways that engage students more deeply in the classroom, and online.
