What is HyFlex / Hybrid Flex?
Learning Activity
In the Hybrid Flex / HyFlex model, portions of each class session and learning activity are offered in-person, synchronously online, and/or asynchronously online. This model requires teachers to consider how students will interact with the lesson and show evidence of learning, with one group in-person and another group online.
This model keeps all students on the same pace, with modifications to the lesson plan. Following is an example showing modifications to a literacy strategy depending on if the student is in-person, online synchronously following along, or online asynchronously completing the task:
COLLABORATION Discussion Roundtable | IN PERSON Students are in socially-distanced, small groups participating in discussion. Each student is submitting their discussion roundtable work via Pear Deck or Nearpod, Slides/Docs, or even on paper | SYNCHRONOUS / in Video Conference Students are in Breakout rooms having small group discussion following Discussion Roundtable protocol Each student is submitting their work via Pear Deck or Nearpod, or in a Doc or Slide template. | ASYNCHRONOUS students Share ideas in Flipgrid, use Discussion Roundtable doc template to fill in notes on three Classmates’ flipgrid responses. |
