The following table shows the different types of technology-equipped spaces and how installed technology is suited for teaching both in-person and remote students synchronously. For more information regarding installed equipment, click on the space-type.
| Space | Lecture/Presentation | Discussion/Interaction | Group Projects | Screen Sharing | Annotation | Whiteboard Capture |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyflex HyFlex 1 | Great | OK | OK | Great | Great | Not Equipped2 |

Suggested approach for teaching in non-HyFlex spaces
The vast majority of laptops come built-in with cameras and microphones, which can be used to easily capture (record/stream) your lectures/presentations regardless of teaching in a physical classroom to an in-person audience or recording in a private/office space on your own. If you wish to hold in-class discussion or group-based work with students, there are a few options. One, fully-remote option is to conduct your session entirely via Zoom using breakout rooms. Alternatively, in a hybrid setting, you could borrow additional equipment, such as a portable microphone/speaker from the DMS so both in-person and remote students can interact. Placement of the microphone/speaker is most important to best capture audio from anyone who will be interacting during the session. It's possible to do this, as a last resort, by simply placing your laptop in a position that allows its built-in microphone to effectively capture audio from anyone speaking within reasonable distance/loudness/clarity.
Scenarios
You are assigned a Hyflex Room and plan to have some remote and in person students at the same time. Depending on how much interaction you plan to have in your courses, you may set your course up differently.
- Hyflex 1 - audience facing camera, that allows online students to see others students and interact, with mic to pick up discussions.
- Hyflex 2 - audience facing camera and lectern-facing camera, that allows online students to see others students and students to see lecturer with mic to pick up discussions.
