DE Institute: HyFlex Teaching & Learning Institute

The 2025 Summer Institute: HyFlex Teaching and Learning, sponsored by the Office of Distance & Alternative Education, is designed to help you prepare for teaching a HyFlex class.

This supportive cohort will focus on applying effective practices for implementing HyFlex delivery in your own course, demonstrate how to utilize HyFlex technology in the classroom, and provide tips for integrating synchronous learning activities and engagement in a HyFlex learning environment.

Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025
Time: AM Session: 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. / PM Session: 2 – 5 p.m.
HyFlex Classroom: Highland Campus

This learning opportunity will be delivered in three sessions: AM, PM, and One-on-One:

• • AM Session: This session will cover the topics of Orientation, Getting Started with HyFlex, and Designing your HyFlex Solution.
  • PM Session: This session will cover the topics of Develop Engagement Approaches, Implementing HyFlex in your Own Course, and Explaining and Evaluating your HyFlex Course Design.
  • One-on-One Session: This session will cover the topic of ACC HyFlex Technologies.

The training is divided into three sessions. The first two sessions are delivered as HyFlex. Faculty have the choice of which of the first two sessions (AM or PM) they will attend on campus or online; however, faculty must attend one session online and one session in-person on the Highland Campus to gain the student experience in a HyFlex meeting. After the first two sessions, faculty must attend a one-on-one meeting in-person on campus to learn the HyFlex technology in their own classroom and step through the process of running a HyFlex class meeting.

Consultations with Distance Education Instructional Designers will be available after the training. Faculty who are accepted will be part of a research study assessing this modality and should be prepared to participate in documenting how students attend throughout the semester.

Facilitator: Stephanie Long, Professor, Geographic Information Systems, Associate Dean, Faculty Center for Learning Innovation (FCLI)

Applicant Prerequisites: All levels of teaching experience and technology skills are welcome. Faculty teaching HyFlex courses will be prioritized.
