"Creating Flexible Learning Support for Open-Access Teaching in a Digital Age" presented by Joanne Baird Giordano & Cassandra Phillips     

The fourth and final session in the 2022-2023 GSOLE Webinar Series

Overview

This webinar explores how adapting HyFlex principles to writing and reading courses can foster postsecondary literacy development for students who require intensive learning support as they transition to college. Participants will explore strategies for applying HyFlex principles to create inclusive courses for students who benefit from structured asynchronous online resources, interaction, and learning activities in addition to synchronous virtual or in person class meetings. Attendees will engage in interactive workshop activities and examine strategies for creating asynchronous online activities and resources that remove barriers to literacy development for students who face learning challenges in a digital world. This webinar is for literacy educators at community colleges and other open-access campuses, along with graduate students and instructors at teaching-intensive institutions who want to incorporate online support into courses while also maintaining a sustainable workload. Participants will leave the workshop with practical strategies for integrating online components into a literacy course regardless of whether an institution officially designates it as HyFlex.
