Have You Heard About HyFlex?
HyFlex is short for hybrid flexible. It’s a course delivery model that allows students to pick how they attend class day by day.
Let’s say you’re enrolled in a class that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Tuesday, you need a little extra help with a particular skill, so you decide to attend in person and speak face-to-face with your instructor. On Thursday, you need to pick up an extra shift, so you decide to watch a recording of class after you get off work. HyFlex was made to offer you that kind of flexibility, allowing you to manage the demands of your daily life with your dreams for your future.
HyFlex Course Delivery Methods
Section numbers for HyFlex classes have an “F” in the second field. Students enrolled in HyFlex courses can choose, day by day, to participate in class through any of the following formats:
Traditional Attendance
We all know this one. You attend class in person at the designated date, time, and location, allowing you valuable face-to-face time with your instructor.
Online Synchronous
Online synchronous means that you attend class at the designated date and time, but you do so online. You participate real-time, from whatever location is best for you. HyFlex classrooms are outfitted with high-quality sound systems, cameras, and Smartboards. They allow you to see, hear, and participate in class with ease.
Online Asynchronous
Sometimes, life gets in the way, and you simply can’t attend class at the designated date and time. Maybe you have car trouble, a sick child, or a conflicting work schedule. That’s not a problem with online asynchronous delivery. This means that you’ll watch a recording of your class at the time that fits your schedule.
More Ways to Take Classes
In addition to HyFlex, South Piedmont offers several other course formats to match your learning style and schedule.
Traditional Courses
Traditional courses take place face-to-face at set times on campus. An online course site is used to supplement in-person instruction. Section numbers for traditional classes have a “C” in the second field.
Hybrid Courses
Hybrid courses combine online learning with required, scheduled, face-to-face instructional time. Section numbers for hybrid courses have an “A” or “S” in the second field.
Online Courses
Online offer maximum flexibility, allowing you to access learning materials, assessments, and other various class activities on your own schedule from anywhere in the world. Section numbers for courses conducted fully online begin with “O.”
