Exploring "Hyflex" Teaching

When: Wednesday, September 22, 2021

Description: Facilitator: Kristin McGillicudy, Assistant Dean for Operations, College of Arts and Sciences

Join us for an exploration of the "hyflex" modality of teaching. This workshop will explore practical applications of combining in-person and online learning and will focus on ways to incorporate hyflex elements into your current face-to-face course. This workshop will be ideal for those looking for ways to accommodate students (or yourself!) during a semester made uncertain by the pandemic. We will explore the following questions:

How do I manage the technology (especially if I only have my laptop and web cam)?
How can students work in groups when some are online and others are in the classroom?
How can I keep all student engaged no matter how they're attending?
How can I ensure an inclusive and equitable environment in a hyflex course?

The workshop will include a short demo of a sample class using a laptop and basic web cam. Assistant Dean McGillicudy has designed and taught multiple courses in hyflex, online asynchronous, online synchronous and traditional in-person modalities at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Participants are welcome to bring questions and to share best practices from their own teaching experiences.

Please note: This workshop will work most effectively if we have both in-person and virtual participants; thus we encourage those who are able and willing to participate in person to do so. To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone. Please make your preference known when registering. Lunch is provided for in-person participants.
