SITE Interactive 2023 – Building a Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) Future for All Learners

As you may have seen yesterday, I mentioned that SITE Interactive 2023 was happening and that I had looked through the schedule to find the K-12 distance, online, and blended learning session.  The first one I wanted to blog about was:

Specifically, we will explore: -The shifting definition of HyFlex, with a discussion of specific modalities -How to maximize student learning and growth in a HyFlex environment -The technology needed to effectively teach in a HyFlex course modality -HyFlex benefits and challenges -Pedagogical practices and tools that benefit all engagement levels -Examples of successful HyFlex models in both higher education and K-12 environments -Universal Design for Learning and HyFlex -The future directions and long term goals of HyFlex -Resources, recommendations, and case studies to support HyFlex learning Panelists: Dr. Brian Beatty, Professor of Instruction and Technologies in the Department of Equity, Leadership Studies, and Instructional Technologies, San Francisco State University Kenny Hirschmann, Manager, Frankfort Center for Scholarly and Learning Technologies, CUNY Hunter College Dr. Jerusalem Rivera-Wilson, Director of Professional Development & Continuing Education, University at Albany, SUNY Dr. Gina Riley, Program Director & Clinical Professor, Adolescent Special Education, CUNY Hunter College

Topic

• Beyond Emergency Remote Teaching: Supporting Learning and Engagement in Online and Blended Environments

Unfortunately, since the schedule was only released on Friday, I had already scheduled meetings during this time (one of the dangers of these virtual conferences).  But if anyone was able to attend, please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

 

SITE Interactive 2023 and K-12 Online Learning

So on Friday I posted that you could Get Your Exclusive Sneak Peak at the Schedule for SITE Interactive 2023 (and I had only received that notice the day before).  Anyway, since the conference begins tomorrow, I’ve gone and looked through the schedule to identify all of the sessions that I think are relevant to readers of this space.
