In this episode, we dive into the world of HyFlex learning with Professor Brian Beatty, the visionary behind the HyFlex model. We explore the pedagogical principles that guided its creation and how it meets the diverse needs of today's learners. Professor Beatty shares insights on learning outcomes across in-person, synchronous online, and asynchronous participation, revealing the factors that shape student success in this flexible approach.


We also tackle the practical side of HyFlex teaching - how educators can manage the complexities of course design and delivery, and strategies to ensure equity and access for all learners, especially those facing technological or connectivity challenges. Finally, we look to the future: how will HyFlex evolve in response to new technologies and shifting landscapes? Whether you're an educator, administrator or curious learner, this episode offers a thought provoking exploration of the HyFlex model and its potential to transform learning and teaching.
