DSC introduced “HyFlex” classes in the Fall semester of 2021, providing an alternative and convenient way to attend classes weekly. This option limits the number of students in a face-to-face classroom, offering an opportunity for a combination of on-campus and online instruction.
Dr. Cheryl Kohen, director of The Division of Online Studies, brought up the topic of HyFlex to the office of Institutional Resources, who coordinated with IT. From there, IT developed a tool kit for HyFlex classes. Kohen stated, “Other colleges are already doing this.”
“I’m more than happy to provide an opportunity for students to attend online, said April Brunning, the Instructional Resources Video Production Manager. “HyFlex is virtual and live, this way we can have larger class sizes without the risks of Covid-19.”
