Which modality allows students to choose how to participate (in-person, synchronous online, or asynchronous)?

• A. Hybrid Modality
• B. Synchronous Learning
• C. Course Outline of Record (COR)
• D. HyFlex Modality

Answer: (D)

HyFlex modality lets students decide, for each class meeting, how to participate—attend in person, join synchronously online, or complete work asynchronously. The course is designed so everyone has access to the same activities and can achieve the same outcomes, no matter which mode they choose. This flexibility is built into the delivery and assessments, so mode choice doesn’t affect learning goals. Synchronous learning requires real-time participation, either in person or online, with no option to do the live activity asynchronously. Asynchronous delivery provides content and tasks online without live sessions, so participation isn’t in real time. Hybrid modality blends in-person and online components but follows a fixed schedule for each session, not allowing per-session mode choice. The Course Outline of Record is simply the official description of the course, not a delivery approach.
