Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article is a transcript of a welcoming address at a recent virtual event, HyFlex ReAction, and should be read in that light, as fully half of it is about setting context (interesting reading if you want to get a sense of what is important in the current Canadian context). The bit about HyFlex is near the end as Mary Burgess outlines Brian Beatty's hybrid flexible course design model. On this model, HyFlex has four key elements (paraphrased or partially quoted):

  • Learner choice - students choose the mode of engagement that works for them;
  • Equivalence - the modes provide equivalent learning outcomes;
  • Reusability - learning activity artefacts are captured and reused in other modes
  • Accessibility - providing the technical resources and skills to equitably access all modes.
