Board 102: Design and Development HyFlex Courses for Undergraduate Students

Presented at Engineering Technology Division (ETD) Poster Session

In the Hyflex modality student can join in the class in-person, online (synchronous) or can go through lecture notes and video in their convenient time schedule to meet the course goals and objectives. HyFlex teaching is different from traditional face to face interaction. For online participants most of the communication involved through nonverbal method like discussion forum, PowerPoint presentation, email, recorded video lecture. Adequate digital literacy knowledge is mandatory for student and faculty. Student should be self-motivated to be a successful learner. Through online discussions form student will get more opportunity to discuss and will get more time to think/research about a topic. For developing successful HyFlex course few things I need to keep in mind. It is obvious students will expect that they will receive at least same or equivalent knowledge through online compare to face to face interaction. For this reason, clear and specific learning objectives need to set. Also, short-term plan and long-term goal of the course need to set very beginning. Then need to develop a methodology how effective it is possible to deliver in online system. After establishing specific learning objectives of the course, need to determine evidence students really achieve the goal or objective of the course. Student should have clear version of understanding what exactly they need to do to show as proof that they archived the goal or on the way to achieve goal. For evidence homework, quiz, project, midterm and final exam are the tools to evaluate them. Evaluation contents need to be almost same for online.
