Student Experiences in Hyflex Learning EnvironmentsPresenter: Derek Murray, PhD
This session shares research on student experiences in
hyflex learning environments at Camosun College. Using a broad definition of
hyflex learning as an environment in which students have the option to engage
with the course online (synchronous and/or asynchronous) and/or in-person and
in which students may change their mode of engagement at any point during the
course, this research seeks to identify the benefits and challenges experienced
by enrolled students. The authors believe this modality will play an important
role in the future and are thus looking to understand how to sustain momentum
toward a more equitable model of higher education. Survey results indicated
most students (92%, n=91) felt the hyflex delivery helped them to participate
in the course. Longform responses to the survey suggest a variety of perceived
benefits to students ranging from appreciating an online option in case of
personal challenges or circumstances to having the ability to review recordings
after attending an in-person class. Students pointed to challenges such as
issues with online platforms and a lack of social interaction with their peers.
