  3. What is a HyFlex course? Hybrid + Flexible = HyFlex • Hybrid – a mix of face to face, asynchronous, and synchronous online activities • Flexible – students can choose their method of participation … weekly or per topic

  4. HyFlex Course Principles • Learner Choice: Provide meaningful alternative participation modes and enable students to choose between participation modes weekly (or topically). • Equivalency: Provide equivalent learning activities in all participation modes. • Reusability: Utilizeartifacts from learning activities in each participation mode as “learning objects’ for all students. • Accessibility: Equip students with technology skills and access to all participation modes.

  5. What is the ITEC program? • 150 graduate students pursuing Masters degree in Instructional Technologies • Courses • Approx. 24 courses • Class size ranges from 8-20 • Time slots: 4-7, 7-10 PM, Mon - Thursday • All students and instructors commute; up to 60 miles or more one way

  6. Who are ITEC Students? • Most work full time • Teachers and Library / Media Specialists • Educational Software Developers • Trainers • Instructional Designers • Many in career transition • Many with families at home

  7. Why HyFlex? • Allows students to control the pace of their lives a little more • Adapt to changing work requirements • Family requirements • Regional “events” • Allows ITEC to serve distance students without developing a self-contained online degree program • CSU interest in OLDPs - expanding program reach

  11. How do students participate? • Spring 2007 participation patterns and student survey • Four courses: • ITEC 801.01 (F2F) • ITEC 801.02 (online) • ITEC 850.01 (F2F) • ITEC 865.01 (F2F) • 44 individual students (48 enrollments)

  20. Survey Results: Individual Students • 801 in-class: at least one student online each week; the amount each spent online - 12, 10, 6, 6, 6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 1 • 801 online: 6 of 13 totally online; the others - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 in-class • 850: 2 of 10 always in-class; the others - 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 online • 865: 3 of 10 always in-class; the others - 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1 online

  21. Survey Results: Item 6 of the survey asked students to evaluate eight types of instructional resources provided in each class.

  22. Survey Results: Item 7 asked students to evaluate their feelings of connectedness to their peers, the instructor, the ITEC program, and SF State University.

  23. Survey Results: Item 8 asked students whether or not they agreed with a statement about learning as much as they expected.

  24. Survey Results: Student Comments 1 - “appreciating flexibility”

  25. Survey Results: Student Comments 2 - “online not the best”

  26. Survey Results: Student Comments 3 - “I like online.”

  27. Survey Results: Item 9 asked students what type of course delivery they preferred.

  28. Proposed Research • Do students learn more effectively when they have the option to choose participation mode? • Do students prefer to create their own blend of learning activities? • Does a HyFlex course require more effort from the instructor? (How much more? Where is extra effort expended?) • Does a HyFlex course require more effort from students? • Which courses, instructors, and students (content, learning goals, values, etc.) are candidates for HyFlex design?
