30 Proposed Research Do students learn more effectively when they have the option to choose participation mode? Do students prefer to create their own blend of learning activities? Does a HyFlex course require more effort from the instructor? (How much more? Where is extra effort expended?) Does a HyFlex course require more effort from students? Which courses, instructors, and students (content, learning goals, values, etc.) are candidates for HyFlex design?
