About The Position

WLIC offers this course with a HyFlex mode of delivery, which provides flexibility to students who may need to access the course remotely due to travel interruption or personal emergencies. The HyFlex approach enables the instructor to simultaneously engage in-person and remote learners, in pedagogically innovative ways, via live streaming on Zoom in technology-enabled classrooms. HyFlex delivery is expected for all 48 contact hours of course instruction. Courses are delivered in 4-hour teaching blocks at specific times to accommodate different regional time zones. The 4-hour teaching model in small classes is fundamental to allow for relationship building amongst students and the instructor as well as providing time to embed vital study skills. Instructors will be required to deliver course content synchronously. Applicants will be asked to demonstrate (via teaching dossier and interview) knowledge of best practices for the HyFlex delivery and management of courses; including, but not limited to: Providing engaging and interactive course instruction simultaneously to both in-person and remote learners, including best practices for assessments in HyFlex courses. Use course management system tools to communicate with students and to foster and support a collaborative online learning community with and between students in the course. Provide timely and constructive feedback on student work. Respond to student academic and course administration inquiries in a timely manner and refer students to technical support or student support when appropriate.
