Learn about The Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) Course Model
The Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) course model allows students to choose how they learn: in-person, synchronously online, or asynchronously online. On Friday, December 10th at 1PM EST, the EdTech Center’s Jen Vanek briefly introduces key characteristics of the HyFlex model; then, two practitioners from the great state of Arizona will share tips for implementation. Jennifer Duclos from Mesa Adult Education will cover strategies for supporting learner engagement, and David Howden of Arizona Center for Youth Resources will describe the technologies needed to implement Hyflex courses. Following the lightning talks, each presenter will be available for informal small group discussion.

Project Updates

EdTech Maker Space to Feature DRAW Initiative
To expand equitable access to quality digital skills resources, the EdTech Center is running its next EdTech Maker Space professional development event from January - March 2022. For this project, part of the Digital Resilience in the American Workforce initiative, adult educators nationwide will expand our growing digital skills library by curating and evaluating learning resources aligned to core digital skills needed by adults as identified in our recent landscape scan. Please complete this brief survey to express your interest in participating. An information session will be held in mid-December to provide more details about this exciting, collaborative service learning opportunity!

Weekly Tech Tip

Create Meeting Notes from Google Calendar

In this new section, we'll share a tech tip contributed by ETC staff or partners. This week, learn about a new update from Google that allows you to quickly generate and share meeting notes for scheduled calendar events. To do this, simply navigate to and click an event on your calendar, then click the “Take Meeting Notes” prompt. You will then be redirected to a document containing details including date and time, attendees, and a section for notes and action items. Note that this feature only works if you are the meeting organizer. If you are not the meeting organizer, you can generate this notes template in a blank document by typing the “@” sign and selecting “Meeting Notes” under the Building Blocks option in the drop-down menu. Then you can attach the desired meeting to the document.
