This is a presentation at a NERCOMP event on continuity of learning. This presentation explores using the hybrid flexible approach to allow for maximum learning for college students. The presentation explores how designing a course to run entirely face-to-face, online, and a mixture of both can prevent loss of learning throughout the semester.
