11. • Hyflex course are different from
– Fully conventional courses
– Fully online course
• Need to have in mind that returning conventional courses back to
campus does not means that we teach the way we did in 2019!
• Instead, we improve our teaching through lessons learning during
covid-19 Spring 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021
• Hyflex has the added dificulty to deliver lectures to both in-class and
on-line students – and engage both groups in meaningful and active
ways
Fall 2021: teaching with live transmission

12. • Continue improving our students’ learning
experiences through our courses
• We do not simply return back to F2019…
• Will work based on lessons learned during
covid-19 epidemic in a number of areas
Our target for 2021-2022

semester

14. • Will work based on lessons learned during
covid-19 epidemic
