This page contains links to books, articles, and other media which may be helpful for review. All readings here are optional! They are to add to your perspective and knowledge of Hybrid and/or HyFlex. If you locate additional or other relevant resources, please consider sharing these in the discussion threads. The real value of this course will be in the resources which you bring to the discussions. Consider this a "starter set" if you will. There may be some additional resources placed here not specifically to do with Hybrid or HyFlex.
-
Post any questions here about the course! No question is too big or small.

What is meant by the terms "Hybrid" and "HyFlex"? How are these similar? How are they different? How are they distinguished from "blended" learning, or "flipped"?
As a starting point you may want to consider the University of Windsor Outline of Course Delivery Modes file below.
Post your preferred definition for one of these terms, and link to a resource in this Terms and Definitions discussion forum, and respond to at least one colleague's post.

Context is everything! As we prepare for the fall semester, we will all have different hopes and expectations for how learning technologies will be used on our campuses. Using the Hybrid/Hyflex template or another tool of your choosing to provide an overview of your expected institutional context or setting. This should be no more than a single page if textual, or a maximum of 5 minutes if in video, audio, or media form.
Please feel free to use or adapt the template below if that is helpful.
Post your document or artifact in this Contexts and Settings discussion forum, and post at least one substantive reply to a colleague's posting offering constructive feedback, questions, and/or additional resources.

This is an optional resource. Download & complete this form for the Contexts and Settings discussion forum. This can also be adapted and/or otherwise repurposed.

There are two paths through this section of the course: Hybrid and HyFlex. To successfully complete the requirements for this course, you are only required to complete one of the paths; i.e., section #3 or section #4. You are not required to complete both, although you are welcome to if so interested.
If you have any questions about this, please consider posting in the Q&A Forum.
