HyFlex, Hybrid, and Virtual Synchronous Teaching in the Engineering Classroom: An Autoethnographic Approach

“…First, it can be used to promote a flipped classroom environment where certain content (lectures, reading, quizzes, etc…) can be completed online outside the classroom with the intention to dedicate in-person class time to conduct authentic learning and complete open-ended problems [12].
