What is HyFlex?

HyFlex (hybrid-flexible) is a course design where students can participate either in the physical classroom or online (typically live, at the same time), and they can often switch modes from meeting to meeting. The key idea is that both paths are intended to achieve the same learning outcomes, with comparable activities and access to instruction.
