(Cox, 2019)

Hy-Flex defined: My Class Has Both Online and In-Person Students!
When multiple modes of delivery are offered and students are allowed to choose their participation method for each class session as well as for each activity during class time. This modality incorporated in-person, online synchronous as well as online asynchronous lesson plans for each learning opportunity. (Example: A course allowing students to choose between being seated in class, watching a simulcast of the class remotely, or watching a recording of the class session at a later time.)
In this five-part learning community, we will discuss the design and implementation considerations and best practices for Hy-Flex and Simulcast modalities of instruction. This community will meet in-person, with the opportunity for online participation over Zoom. For experienced instructors as well as those eager to employ this strategy for the first time.
