Extended Abstract

The HyFlex course delivery format provides choice and convenience for students and instructional challenges for faculty i.e., effectively engaging students physically present in the classroom as well as those participating remotely. This presentation provides the results of a study that explored the use of collaborative planning and co-teaching to support faculty new to the HyFlex course delivery format. On a weekly basis, students chose to participate from three different participation modes (onsite, synchronous online, asynchronous online). Each of the three modalities were developed based on current best practice in designing a HyFlex course (Beatty, 2022) and using a flexible syllabus planning tool (Agnew, 2020). Student achievement across the three participation modes, student satisfaction with the HyFlex course delivery format, and the effectiveness of using collaborative planning and co-teaching to support HyFlex pedagogy will be discussed.
