Increasing Community in a HyFlex Class during COVID-19
Savignano, Mark; Holbrook, John
Journal of Educational Technology Systems, v52 n2 p187-202 2023
This experience paper recounts the research and outcomes of applying a modified professional learning community (PLC) to a pre-service teacher education course. The purpose of applying the PLC to the pre-service teacher education course was to increase community amongst students participating in a HyFlex classroom. In a HyFlex classroom, students can participate in person or online synchronously. This causes issues with students feeling a lack of community and connectedness to their peers. The result was that students felt more connected to their peers during the course and appreciated the PLC as part of the class.
