FAQs about Top Hat Pro: Your Hybrid and HyFlex Teaching Solution
-
How are hybrid and HyFlex instruction different from blended learning?
Hybrid instruction differs from blended learning in that this modality uses online components to replace a portion of face-to-face time.
On the other hand, hybrid-flexible (HyFlex teaching) involves making your course available to students to attend either in person or online. Of these three instructional techniques, HyFlex is the only model where educators simultaneously teach students online and in person.
Comparatively, blended learning incorporates a mix of face-to-face and online instruction. In a blended classroom, online components are used to supplement activities and discussions hosted in person. -
Can students learn as well online as face-to-face?
When done well, students have the potential to learn just as effectively online as face-to-face. Educational technology such as virtual classroom software, classroom management tools and interactive textbook platforms can bridge the gap between online and face-to-face learning.
Top Hat offers an all-in-one solution to online course delivery, no matter if you’ve adopted a blended, hybrid or HyFlex classroom. Thousands of professors at 750+ colleges have access to interactive textbooks, polling and discussion features, secure testing capabilities and more—all housed in one platform. -
Can online learning replace face-to-face teaching?
Depending on what instructional model you choose to adopt, online learning can be used to replace face-to-face course delivery. For example, hybrid classroom technology can be used to extend learning beyond any face-to-face class. In the case of HyFlex teaching, students can decide whether they want to replace their in-person learning with online instruction.
