- Note: Unless otherwise specified, all courses listed above were held as in-person courses, although individual students with extenuating circumstances may have occasionally attended remotely on a specific day, making those specific class sessions technically hybrid/hyflex class sessions.
- More detailed information regarding my training and experience in designing and leading online, remote, and hybrid/hyflex courses via both synchronous and asynchronous student interaction is available on this site. I have incorporated some kind of hybrid/hyflex learning option (in which select students can, on occasion, attend an in-person class remotely in real time) in every course I have taught since the fall of 2019.
