As we wrap up the Fall 2021 semester, we invite you to join a conversation about your experiences designing and teaching a HyFlex course at Lehman in a focus group on December 7th and December 8th at 12pm. This focus group will ask faculty to reflect on a series of key questions about HyFlex and provide qualitative feedback for faculty development programming. Also to collect as much information from our faculty as possible we also invite you to share your experiences with HyFlex via this 5-min survey.
We invite you to register for either December 7th Or December 8th. Both sessions will be held as a HyFlex session streaming from Lehman college classroom. Participants can join virtually or in person for a 60 minute conversation with instructional designer Sakina Laksimi. For more questions please email online.education@lehman.cuny.edu
