Abstract

This paper examines ongoing discourse on the HyFlex course design which has been rapidly recognized among instructors teaching in higher education institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The HyFlex course design has been used successfully for more than a decade at many higher education institutions around the world with a wide variety of courses, particularly courses for adult and part-time students. However, the HyFlex course is known as the live broadcast of lectures in the classroom to remote participants via web conference systems in recent discourse in Japan. Higher education researchers and practitioners often introduce those kinds of concept in a local context erroneously and spread the ideas without careful investigation of the US’s background to save the cognitive load. This paper aims to raise an alert over the tendency for Americanization without critical review and reconsider the HyFlex course design concept based on previous studies. The most important aspect of designing our courses with the HyFlex model is to focus on the learning experience rather than the mode of delivery or participation.
