Phil and Bill, Sounds like an interesting challenge. I haven't heard of anyone doing a TBL exactly like this. I have heard some people wanting to change teams a few times during the class. Some folks from the University of South Alabama do an integrated Synchronous and Asynchronous TBL modality but not quite a HyFlex. As a starting point, here's how I would approach a TBL HyFlex in a 15 week class: Initial week: orientation / learner preparation Divide the class into several blocks of a couple weeks each: students must elect online or F2F at the start of each block, same teams for that block, do a whole TBL cycle in each block, several blocks in a semester, can't change between F2F and Online in the middle of a block Block 1 (~25% of material; 3 weeks total) Week 1: Team formation/orientation and content delivery (lecture for F2F and video recording for online) Week 2 F2F: In-person IRAT, TRAT and clarifications of basic content and theory Week 2 Online: Monday 24 hour window to do IRAT, Tue-Wed 48 hour window to do TRAT, Thursday and Friday for clarifications Week 3 F2F: In-person applications and discussion Week 3 Online: Online applications with a few days to do them and a few days to discuss and e-gallery walk Week 3 Both: Finish with peer evaluation Maybe run 3-5 blocks per semester depending on your schedule and what other class items you have such as mid-term, final, guest speakers, etc. Team formation: my gut reaction is that it might be easiest to just do a randomization at the start of each block; but if you had the time to do it you might be able to use the results of Block 1 (e.g. IRAT and peer eval score) to set teams for Block 2 Office hours: we have heard of some folks that do a weekly office hours in online asynchronous TBL classes and they usually see at least one person from each team attending due to fear of missing out Modality options: think you could have three participation options a) in-person b) online asynchronous and c) online synchronous Curious to hear what others think of this or other ideas?
