Below are some active learning tips for teaching in a HyFlex environment.
Group work
Breakout rooms during class using the web conferencing platform you have selected (note: students need to bring laptops and headsets to class to interact with remote students in breakout rooms. Use chat feature to limit noise levels in classroom)
Blackboard groups for live and after class activities. Groups can include :
Bb Collaborate Ultra for students to web conference. Or students can create their own Zoom group meetings)
Blogs, Discussion, email, file exchange, journals, tasks, wikis and VoiceThread
VoiceThread activities during and outside of class
Think-Pair-Share with small groups (breakout rooms of 2-3)
Case studies to read prior to class and discuss in groups
FAQ Discussion Forum
Short online video lectures to supplement the live streamed/recorded class lecture. This helps for the few students who may need to attend asynchronously.

Students post questions answered by other students and instructor
Assign discussion leader(s) bi-weekly asking leader(s) for the week to share a reflection for everyone during class
Instructor provides feedback on student responses during class and outside for a few posts
