Purpose
The purpose of this activity is to help you start thinking concretely about your Flex course by creating a plan for one week of instruction. Specifically, we hope that you'll consider ways to provide equivalent access to learning resources, equivalent opportunities for participation in learning activities, and equivalent assessments and plans for providing feedback for students who participate in person, synchronously online, and asynchronously.
Task
Develop a plan for one week (or more, if you'd like) of a Flex course that you'd like to teach. Your lesson plan should include the learning activities and assessments that will be completed that week and specific instructions for how students in each modality will participate. Additionally, include the tools and learning resources that will be needed to complete those activities.
Feel free to take inspiration from the examples on the previous page or the example below.
Criteria for Success
A successfully completed submission will include a week-long lesson plan for a course that you'd like to teach in a Flex format. The lesson plan should include descriptions of learning activities and assessments for each modality (in person, synchronous online, asynchronous). If preferable, a more generalized framework can be substituted for a detailed lesson plan. Feel free to reach out to the Instructional Designers if a different format may be more effective for showing your planning.
Example
The lesson plan below was designed by Liz Roewe at Spokane Community College as an example Flex plan for one week of English 272.
