HyFlex and virtual models ensure equity

3 ways HyFlex and virtual models help ensure equity

  1. Faculty training plays a critical role in HyFlex learning and equity
  2. Online and HyFlex options that started with the pandemic are helping ensure equity
    lecture capture
    get training and to learn from each other
  3. Engagement remains critical, whether in person or in a HyFlex model
    how they’re going to teach remote students, but also students in the class, at the same time,

Multimodal Learning Environments

Neuroscience research has also revealed that „significant increases in learning can be
accomplished through the informed use of visual and verbal multimodal learning‟ (Fadel, 2008, p. 12).

Multimodal learning environments allow instructional elements to be presented in more than one  sensory mode (visual, aural, written). In turn, materials that are presented in a variety of presentation  modes may lead learners to perceive that it is easier to learn and improve attention, thus leading to improved learning performance; in particular for lowerachieving students (Chen & Fu, 2003; Moreno & Mayer, 2007; Zywno 2003).

multimodal design, in which „information (is) presented in multiple modes such as visual and auditory‟ (Chen & Fu, 2003, p.350). The major benefit of which, as identified by Picciano (2009), is that it „allows students to experience learning in ways in which they are most comfortable, while challenging them to experience and learn in other ways as well‟ (p. 13). Consequently, students may become more selfdirected, interacting with the various elements housed in these environments.

Hyflex experiment

Our HyFlex Experiment: What’s Worked and What Hasn’t

Armed with a can-do spirit, faculty members leaped into hybrid teaching this fall. The results have been decidedly mixed.

By Kevin Gannon OCTOBER 26, 2020

The flexibility afforded to students by HyFlex courses has been evident this semester, but the style of teaching required has proven more difficult to maintain than anticipated. Moreover, that same flexibility has been the proverbial double-edged sword when it comes to student success.

HyFlex courses are hard to build, and even harder to teach.
Designing effective online courses is hard work and differs significantly from in-person teaching. HyFlex courses essentially braid the two together. Moreover, the braiding is even more complicated because the online strand is further divided into synchronous and asynchronous paths.
What seems clear is that institutions using the HyFlex model need to find more and different ways to support faculty members than before. Hire work-study students to wrangle Zoom? Improve the integration and workflow of these various tools? At the very least, we have to acknowledge the significant burden now on classroom instructors, a burden for which very few of us were prepared.

HyFlex’s origin story matters. HyFlex courses were initially developed for graduate students in an educational-technology program.
we needed more in the way of introducing students to HyFlex — more clearly and specifically outlining how the courses work and how to navigate them most successfully.

HyFlex works better for some types of classes than others. It’s no coincidence that faculty members who are finding HyFlex a difficult fit are those whose classes are either completely or mostly discussion-based, perhaps even student-led.

We need to help students learn to become online learners. 

Faculty members cannot hide from structural racism and economic inequality any more, because our students were never able to in the first place.

Brian Beatty and HyFlex

On June 25, Brian Beatty was a guest to Bryan Alexander’s “Future Forum.”
He will be a guest again this coming Thursday, September 24, 2020, 1PM Central.
Here is the recording from the June 25th session:

HyFlex model

“A well-designed HyFlex class, with effective alternative participation modes
that all lead to the same learning outcomes, can provide meaningful learning opportunities for all students.” Brian Beatty

Subject: Re: [BLEND-ONLINE] Flexible Training/Learning Incubation Spaces

We launched our group, STELAR (St. Thomas E-Learning and Research), almost 2 years ago.  Part of that launch included a physical space that offers: Innovative individual and collaborative group study spaces for students, consultation spaces for faculty and our staff, meeting spaces, a Technology Showcase providing access to leading edge technology for faculty and students (VR/AR, AI, ML,) an Active Learning classroom space used for training and for faculty to experiment, and a video recording space for faculty to create course video objects using a Lightboard, touch Panel computer or just talking to the camera.

We’ve seen exceptional usage among our students for this space, likely in part because we partnered with our library to include our space along with the other learning resources for students in our main library.  We have had numerous faculty not only experiment with but then integrate VR/AR and other leading edge technologies in their classes and research projects.  Our classroom is busy consistently for training, class sessions, meetings, etc. and our learning spaces see student use throughout the day and into the evening.  In short, our physical space has become an essential and highly visible part of the work we do around providing opportunities, expertise, and technology for the innovation of teaching and learning (Our tagline: … at the intersection of Pedagogy and Technology)

The reception has been so positive that our space has been used as a model for some new student-focus collaboration spaces around campus.

We have a good deal of information about STELAR as a team on our website: https://www.stthomas.edu/stelar/

It does include some information about our physical space but we’ve also pared that down since our launch.  I’d be happy to connect you with our team if you’d like to learn more about what we’ve done here, where we’ve seen success and ideas that didn’t pan out as we expected.

14 Predictions for Higher Education in 2022

https://campustechnology.com/articles/2022/01/04/14-predictions-for-higher-education-in-2022.aspx

Forget Hyflex

our faculty will discover that effectively teaching in a hyflex environment without adequate support is extremely difficult and truly exhausting.

Adapt Hyflex — and Be Ready for Anything (security)

Move Beyond Zoom into the Metaverse

Reap the Rewards of 2 Years of Strategic Decision-Making

campus leaders who have intentionally put students at the center of organization and system design will reap a great reward.

Expect More Disruption and More Innovation

look for movement in the augmented and virtual reality space.

Online Ed Becomes the Norm

online education will become the norm rather than the step-sister of “traditional” education

Build Off the Threads that Are Here to Stay

Alternatives Will Continue Gaining Ground

The cultures within institutions may prevent these significant changes from occurring. If that occurs, alternatives will continue to build momentum.

Emphasize Choice and Support

Alumni will be looking for upskilling opportunities via microcredentials, to navigate growth and career change during the “Great Resignation.” Recent high school grads will expect a variety of online, hybrid and in-person courses to choose from, many bringing with them years of experience with virtual learning.

Students Need Faster Routes to Completion

Climate Change Ed Gets Embedded

Hybrid Learning Tech Will Step Up

many lecture theaters might come to look like professional TV studios, to meet growing quality and usability expectations. Also, technologies will likely be expected to make classrooms environments more “peer-learning friendly” and inclusive

Blockchain Will Gain Ed Pickup

The (Arizon State) university announced that in 2022 it would release Pocket, a digital wallet for students as a comprehensive learner record.
