About Us

The HyFlex Learning Community began with discussions of some of the authors of the Hybrid-Flexible Course Design book who agreed that the rapidly growing Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) community needed more opportunities to learn from each other in a connected and community-coordinated way. We all have substantial experience with Hybrid-Flexible course and program design, even though we may use different terminology in our local contexts. Many of us have been pioneers in our institutions and have helped many understand HyFlex and begin teaching this way in their own courses and programs. After completing a substantial needs assessment in late 2020, this site was designed and launched in the winter and spring of 2021.
