SUNY Jamestown Community College is enhancing course offerings starting this spring semester by adding seven HyFlex courses to its catalog.
While many instructors have continued post-pandemic to make it possible for students to attend classes online as needed, HyFlex courses aim to combine in-person and online learning more formally. Students enrolled in any of JCC’s HyFlex courses will be able to attend class in person on campus, virtually through Zoom, or entirely outside of the class meeting times.
“HyFlex learning is a dynamic educational opportunity that blends traditional in-person interaction with the flexibility of online learning,” said Crystal Rose-Williams, assistant vice president of Academic Affairs at SUNY JCC. “Students can choose their path and tailor their learning experience to suit their needs and preferences at a given time.”
HyFlex offerings at JCC this semester are Intro to Business, Foundations/Education-Teaching Pro, English Composition I and II, Introduction to Solid Modeling, Introduction to Sociology, and Introductory Spanish I.
Rose-Williams says this is more than a slight shift in teaching style, calling it a “transformative force” in reshaping the landscape of higher education.
“This is a journey that will foster a new era of personalized learning,” Rose-Williams said. “HyFlex is a catalyst for innovation and will ensure that higher education adapts to the diverse needs of students in the 21st century.”
Spring 2024 classes begin Jan. 22. Students must be registered by Jan. 19, and can do this by requesting an appointment with an advisor or stopping by any SUNY JCC location between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Jan. 18 or 19.
