High Enrollment and HyFlex: The Case for an Alternative Course Model
Sowell, Krista; Saichaie, Kem; Bergman, Jacqueline; Applegate, Elizabeth
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v30 n2 p5-28 2019
Classroom space limitations and increasing student enrollments push universities to the development of alternative course delivery models. The authors describe how a high-enrollment, general elective course was converted into a HyFlex model. A HyFlex course provides flexible participation, allowing students the choice of attending face-to-face class sessions or the option to complete course activities online without physically attending class." to meet student enrollment demands and institutional space constraints. The redesigned HyFlex course featured a number of innovations to ensure learners in online (OL) or face-to-face (F2F) formats had equivalent opportunities to succeed. Student satisfaction with the HyFlex format was high (70% OL students), and student enrollment increased by 29%. The HyFlex model design is one alternative that institutions may consider to balance the demands for course availability, instructional innovation, and classroom space.
