To plan for shifts in an uncertain year, many institutions are planning courses that are adaptable to online, hybrid, and face-to-face learning environments. Dr. Elizabeth Barrie from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has led an effort to pivot existing courses using Kaufman’s notion of agile learning. The agile model enables faculty to proactively design courses that are adaptable to any scenario.

This model allows students to choose their own course path by using the combination of formats that works best for their lives, whether they are working full time, parenting, or pursuing double and triple majors. The framework gives students more control of their educational pace and experience while also allowing institutions to offer quality instruction and readiness for the unforeseen pivots like those we have experienced this year.

Join us for a practical and interactive virtual workshop to learn how to prepare faculty to offer every course in face-to-face, hybrid, and online formats. In this two-hour workshop, you will:

• Learn the benefits of agile courses for the student, faculty, and institution
• Identify ideal courses for agile development by using a simple rubric
• Distinguish between HyFlex and agile course design
• Learn strategies and tips to develop and implement agile courses
• Receive detailed resources to help you prepare and support faculty
