Teaching HyFlex
Resources for NDSU instructors for Fall 2020
Definition:
HyFlex
is short for hybrid-flexible. At NDSU, this means each course is built
to give students and instructors a choice to attend either in person or
remotely. The course still has a physical classroom and synchronous
instruction, and the learning outcomes are the same regardless of mode
of attendance. It uses existing technologies as well as new ones planned
from CARES funding to achieve this. HyFlex is not a software package, a
learning management system, or a specific pedagogical approach.

What’s the LAIC and what happened to the TLMC?
Before COVID-19 shifted priorities dramatically, a number of changes were underway in ITS. Here is a synopsis of the exciting activities that are underway and are positively affecting how we offer services:- We incorporated all things teaching and learning to support faculty and students in one location, the Learning and Applied Innovation Center (LAIC)
- In order to provide as many services as possible to students and faculty we incorporated the functions of the Classroom Technology, Instructional Services, Interactive Technology (web conferencing, HyFlex functionality, IVN, etc.), the Technology Learning Media Center, Training, and Course/Assignment Workshops for Students along with new Instructional Design offerings within the purview of the LAIC
- In addition to Instructional Design consultation, we have also re-envisioned the role of our talented student staff to support students and faculty in core teaching and learning technologies
