Empowering Teachers’ Digital Teaching and Learning WEBINAR SERIES – HyFlex for Learning: Advancing Meaningful Change in Education

Lahore, November 07, 2022 (PPI-OT):On November 8th, IIOE invites Prof. Brian Beatty from San Francisco State University (SFSU) to give an in-depth view of Hyper Flexible (HyFlex) Learning, a model of design that enables Higher Education Institutions and instructors to offer a resilient learning environment, and offering students equitable access and autonomy to choose how they would like to learn.

HyFlex combines the terms “hybrid” and “flexible.” Hybrid learning refers to learning that integrates complementary face-to-face (synchronous) and online learning (asynchronous) experiences in service of intended learning objectives.

All students in a hybrid course are expected to undergo the same combination of online and in-person activities. In contrast, the “flexible” aspect of HyFlex is that students are given choice in how they participate in the course and engage with material in the mode that works best for them over the course and from session to session.

How might HyFlex Learning facilitate the experience change in your course? What should you do to initiate the adoption of HyFlex Learning? Join our HyFlex for Learning: Advancing Meaningful Change in Education webinar to find out!

Note: Due to time differences, this webinar cannot accommodate audiences from all working time zones across the world. This webinar will be recorded and a playback link will be shared with registered audiences.
