Supporting HyFlex/Hybrid Courses: A Resource for Course and Teaching Assistants
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant adjustments and innovations in courses at Columbia. In particular, instructors have needed to deploy a range of educational technology tools to ensure that students can productively learn and engage with their instructors and each other remotely.
This deployment is relatively more complex in courses that combine in-person and remote students. These courses are often labeled “HyFlex”. In some cases, course assistants and teaching assistants are taking on HyFlex support responsibilities and serving as ‘co-pilots’. This resource provides an overview of HyFlex support approaches and resources that is meant to supplement training provided in your departments and schools.
Resource: Hybrid/HyFlex Teaching & Learning
What is HyFlex? How does it work? What are some strategies for getting started? This guide helps instructors answer these questions by providing an overview and practical strategies for setting up HyFlex activities.
