Meeting Students Where They Are: HyFlex for Introductory Physics at a TYC

During the pandemic, restrictions led to an increased familiarity with online environments among the students in higher education. At the same time, these same restrictions led to the development of new, and the greater availability of existing, technologies and pedagogies beneficial to remote learning. The outcome has been a shift in the priorities of many institutions of higher education. In response, the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College has charged some of its faculty with developing Hyflex STEM options to help meet the changing needs and learning styles of our students. Here we report on the designs, implementations, and lessons learned following three semester’s worth of offerings of an algebra-based, introductory physics HyFlex course.
