Course Delivery
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 and all 16 hours of tutorial 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.
