used to describe many things that are not necessarily HyFlex as defined by Beatty (2019); and as
the pandemic has waned, there seems to be sufficient interest to continue to offer HyFlex. For
this reason, it is necessary to make it a systemwide policy to create a code or codes that clearly
indicate to students that a given course has HyFlex designation.
This type of policy will allow students in the CCC system to immediately know when
they register for a course if they are signing up for a HyFlex course, helping them calibrate their
expectations accordingly. In addition to helping ensure consistent experiences of good quality,
this policy will help educational leaders, practitioners, and researchers gather data to evaluate
how well HyFlex teaching and learning is serving CCC students. This policy will help gain
knowledge about who takes HyFlex and whether they succeed and how that success compares to
other delivery modes. Establishing a common matriculation code for HyFlex will allow
institutions to measure the effectiveness of their HyFlex offerings and compare them against
their local face-to-face and online data and against statewide data for HyFlex. Having this ability
should empower institutions to make decisions about ongoing institutional commitments to
HyFlex teaching and learning.
