We are looking forward to seeing you online!

10 September 2020 12.15 – 13.00 Webinar: The highs and lows of HyFlex Led by Ruth Puhr
HyFlex is the buzzword in higher education this summer! Are you helping your faculty prepare to deliver courses to students in multiple modes? The possibility of having some face-to-face students, others who join virtually and a third group who will catch up later is daunting. The challenges of teaching in higher education have never been greater.
Students returned to the Les Roches campuses in Switzerland and Spain at the end of July and I have been working with faculty since mid-July, preparing them for HyFlex delivery and supporting them in their classes. In this webinar, I will share some of the highs and lows that we have experienced.
