Hybrid Learning

Hybrid courses offer the “best of both worlds” by combining face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning activities. In a typical hybrid course, students will attend class on campus for a limited amount of time during the semester and then complete additional coursework online through the campus course management system. Depending on the course, students might meet once a week or just a few times throughout the semester.

Synchronous Learning

The Synchronous course program at FLCC is ideal for students who prefer a face-to-face learning environment, but whose busy schedule or lack of transportation limit their ability to travel to the main Canandaigua campus. Each FLCC Campus Center is equipped with at least one Synchronous classroom where students can participate in live classes that occur between two or more FLCC Campus locations. The instructor teaches from one campus while student located at one of the other campuses benefit from the live face-to-face experience through use of Video Conferencing technology. Courses offered synchronously each semester are selected based on need and may include weekdays, evenings and Saturdays.

HyFlex Learning

Everyone's schedule is different. If you have competing priorities, making it to campus for every class may not be realistic. HyFlex takes advantage of emerging technologies, allowing you to choose—day by day—how, when, and where you "attend" class.

HyFlex is an instructional model which broadcasts and records classroom lectures as they take place, making accessibility and flexibility a reality for all students. Through this model, you can decide how and when you access a lecture.

For example, one week, you may attend class in-person on campus, and another, you can watch a live stream from the convenience of your home or a coffee shop. Then, on the following week, you might decide to view the recorded version of the lecture on a quiet weekend morning. Also, since all lecture video recordings are available online, you can revisit lessons at any time to be prepared for all exams, papers, and projects.

Through FLCC’s HyFlex learning model, the choice of how, when, and where you access your course is yours.
