4. + Designing for Collaboration
 Collaborative
Group Work is an important
process for learners to engage in.
 Many
would however, note the challenges of
CGW. Especially when taken online!
 Designing
with CGW and inherent challenges
in mind, can make the difference.
 Consider
Phases, Scaffolding, and Technology
for Collaboration (PSTC) model.
 And
there will still be challenges!

9. + HyFlex
Course Design
HyFlex design combines faceto-face and online approaches
to teaching and learning with
giving students the
opportunity to choose to
participate face-to-face,
online, or both.

10. + HyFlex
Course Design
Upon reflection, three reasons framed my
decisions toward HyFlex course design:
1. meeting students’ needs,
2. encouraging students to take control
of their learning, and
3. demonstrating and modeling the
power of online learning technologies.
And of course, these three reasons
culminate in the overarching goal of
increasing student engagement and
interaction.

HyFlex Course Design
The
HyFlex course design that
I used can be discussed using
Beatty’s (2007a; 2007b; 2010)
four fundamental principles of
HyFlex design – student
choice, equivalency,
reusability, and accessibility.

12. + Personal Learning Networks
You
have always had a personal
learning network. It includes the people
and the resources that help inform you
about your interests and profession.
The way we access those people and
resources has changed or can change
based on the new technologies
available to use. You have an
opportunity in this course to think about
this and perhaps expand your PLN.

13. + Implications for Designing Physical
Learning Spaces
HyFlex
and Collaborative
Learning could take place in
more innovative physical
learning spaces…
