Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative comparative multiple-case study was to explore students' perspectives regarding implementation of HyFlex course design in a graduate level course. The main feature of HyFlex is related to hybrid and flexible student attendance: students choose how and when they achieve attendance. The data collection sources in this case study included interviews of six graduate students, class observations, recordings of class meetings, and related online course artifacts. Results indicated that participants perceived both benefits and challenges related to HyFlex implementation. Benefits included (1) accommodating for students' needs and life circumstances, (2) differentiating instruction, (3) increasing access to course content and instruction, and (4) encouraging student choice and control. Challenges included (1) students taking advantage of the flexibility and (2) technical difficulties. Additionally, for this chapter, the instructor in this study provides an update of HyFlex implementation.
