HyFlex Instruction
Instructors and professors need to think about online instruction pedagogy and strategy before or at the same time as planning in-person instruction. COVID-19 has accelerated our need to recognize the benefits of having the flexibility to shift to hybrid or remote instruction, both for instructors and learners.
Ideas and tips for:
- designing with online instruction in mind first
- benefits of flipped classroom approaches
- why you should at least record–and aim to simulcast–your in-person instruction
- community building in online or hybrid classes
- time management for instructors and students
- district-wide solutions
- assessment
- instructor support around developing and using new tools and resources
- investing in schools, students, and teachers and professors
