MAILING LISTS

Phil -

I've been reading a bit about HyFlex and asking around about it. The cases
I've seen for it have been (i) a small 25-person class with general
discussion and (ii) a large lecture class. I haven't seen much at all with
HyFlex with structured active learning classrooms like TBL or even Peer
Instruction. I asked about this yesterday on the POD listserv (POD is the
people who run teaching and learning centers) and while someone had a good
idea on how I might implement PI, no one seemed to have had experience
with it. One person pointed to Raes, Annelies, et al. "A systematic
literature review on synchronous hybrid learning: gaps identified."
Learning Environments Research (2019): 1-22.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10984-019-09303-z as where
HyFlex stands at the moment. The phrase "active learning" does not appear
in it. At least there were several papers measuring learning outcomes.

I could see teams rotating in and out of the classroom, but it gets
tougher if a given student is missing. Also, it seems tough for a remote
team to have a discussion if you're not using some sort of synchronous
connection.

I wonder what might be possible with https://www.intedashboard.com/ ?

In some cases, it seems that institutions are adopting HyFlex and making
other decisions about the fall without much faculty input, which is a bit
frustrating. Along these lines, I saw this about UNC Chapel Hill today:

> Hi all,
> 
> At my institution, we are being required to offer our fall classes as HyFlex classes -- i.e. classes that include both a full ftf class and a fully online track with students allowed to move from one group to another. And the online portion cannot require synchronous participation via teleconferencing software.
> 
> I have found great resources to support TBL in an online modality. We were in that modality after mid-March in the spring term. Things went pretty well, in part because I had a lot of social capital built up from our two months of ftf class preceding the online portion. But I am pretty confident that I could build a good online course -- synchronous or asynchronous.
> 
> I find nothing on TBL in a HyFlex class.

> Any suggestions? For resources to help or ideas about how to approach doing TBL in a HyFlex class.
