The HyFlex Learning Model with Dr. Brian Beatty

Effective design for multi-modal learning experiences is a complex process that requires a variety of considerations including content and resource accessibility, equivalent learning outcomes, and instructional workload management.

In this conversation, Dr. Brian Beatty discusses the core principles of the Hybrid-Flexible or HyFlex Learning Model. He shares his knowledge about ways to successfully design a HyFlex classroom where students can choose what mode of learning works better for them and engage in building a learning community through in person, remote synchronous or asynchronous modes of participation.
