Classes will be conducted entirely online through Brightspace (asynchronous) and digital course materials, such as video lectures, readings, discussion boards, etc. Students will not attend a scheduled class session at a UMA location or through Zoom.

HyFlex

What does this type of class look like?

A single course is designed so you can choose the instruction mode that fits your needs. Courses designated HyFlex shall be offered both in-person and online synchronously. There shall be no requirement to record classes or to provide copies of such recordings to anyone.

(1) In Person scheduled class meetings at a UMA location.

(2) Distance Synchronous (live in real-time) through Zoom meetings that are scheduled at the same time and connect with in-person class meetings from a receive location (e.g., center), or student’s home and 

(3) Online (asynchronous) interactive lessons, assessments, and recordings of in-person class meetings. (Each instructor determines this option, and not all Hyflex classes will offer it.) 

Students can choose to experience the course flexibly through any one of the two (possibly three) modes interchangeably during the semester. You still need to keep pace with the Course Schedule.
