SUMMARY:Keynote Presentation | Dr. Brian Beatty | AI at the Right Moment: Reenvisioning HyFlex Learning Support Across the Learning Arc
DESCRIPTION:This keynote explores a human-centered framework for using generative AI in HyFlex learning: AI in the Moment of Learning Need. Rather than treating AI as a general-purpose productivity tool\, the framework positions it as timely support at specific points in the learning arc when students are orienting\, making sense of content\, rehearsing ideas\, applying concepts\, reflecting\, receiving feedback\, or revising work. Grounded in the Five Moments of Need\, the approach argues that AI is most valuable at moments of uncertainty\, reflection\, rehearsal\, and feedback\, not at the point of showing evidence of learning outcomes.

SUMMARY:AI as a Right\, Not a Feature: Why Inclusion Requires Technology
DESCRIPTION:Most learning teams believe in inclusive design but struggle to make it work across languages\, devices\, and ability levels without blowing up timelines. This session makes the case that AI and technology are necessary to close that gap—not just helpful. Drawing on lessons from building an AI-powered learning module reaching 170+ countries\, Josh Penzell shares the design thinking behind making accessibility operational at scale\, and gives participants a way to assess their own work for structural inclusion gaps.\n

SUMMARY:Evaluation of the Equivalency in HyFlex Group Discussions: an IA based qualitative Learning Analytics framework
DESCRIPTION:\nThis presentation will address the matter of the equivalency core principle of HyFlex through a data-informed approach. For this purpose\, it will present the framework and the first results of a multimodal Learning Analytics oriented research\, intending to compare the engagement of face-to-face and remote students\, based on a qualitative analysis of the utterances. It will discuss the topic through an international comparative approach. It sets itself in the continuity of the session we gave during HCC25\, which was dealing with a quantitative analysis.

SUMMARY:Why Learning Fails—and How AI Removes the Barriers We’ve Normalized
DESCRIPTION:Traditional learning often fails to translate into real capability because instruction is separated from the context in which knowledge must be applied. This session explores how AI-supported learning systems can extend HyFlex learning environments by embedding reinforcement\, guidance\, and adaptive prompts directly into learner workflows.

SUMMARY:When Students Choose AI in HyFlex Courses: Early Results from a Moments-of-Need Study
DESCRIPTION:This session shares early findings from a study examining how students decide when to use generative AI in HyFlex courses. Drawing on the Five Moments of Need framework\, the study explores how AI can support learning at specific moments such as sense-making\, rehearsal\, and reflection. Survey results from three graduate courses highlight where students found AI helpful\, when they chose not to use it\, and how their judgment about AI use evolved over the semester.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Panel Presentation II: Designing for AI in HyFlex: Choice\, Equity\, and the New Learning Reality
DESCRIPTION:Join our expert panel as we explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping HyFlex teaching and learning across in-person\, synchronous online\, and asynchronous environments. Moving beyond policy discussions\, this session examines the realities of AI integration through the lens of the core HyFlex principles of learner choice\, equivalence\, reuse\, and accessibility. Panelists will share practical examples and lessons learned as they navigate evolving questions related to participation\, assessment\, academic integrity\, equity\, and student engagement. The discussion will explore when AI supports learning\, when it risks replacing critical thinking\, and how educators can design meaningful learning experiences for students regardless of whether they choose to use AI. Participants will gain actionable strategies for creating AI-aware and AI-resilient learning environments\, including approaches to transparency\, process-oriented assessment\, and equitable engagement across modalities. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for aligning AI use with effective HyFlex design while maintaining rigor\, learner agency\, and meaningful learning.\n\n

SUMMARY:HyFlex in P–12 Education: Lessons from Special Education Contexts
DESCRIPTION:This session explores the growing role of HyFlex learning in P–12 education through the lens of special education and inclusive instructional design. Drawing on current research and practical examples\, presenters will discuss how HyFlex models create opportunities for greater learner choice\, flexibility\, and engagement while addressing barriers that students with disabilities often experience. The presentation will examine how HyFlex environments can reduce sensory overload\, support self-paced learning\, increase educational continuity for students with health or attendance challenges\, and foster greater autonomy. Particular attention will be paid to the relationship between HyFlex and Universal Design for Learning\, demonstrating how multiple means of engagement\, representation\, and expression can be embedded into instructional design from the outset. Participants will also consider implementation challenges\, including educator preparation\, equitable access to technology\, staffing considerations\, and the need for systemic support structures. Through discussion and reflection\, attendees will explore how designing for students at the margins can ultimately improve learning experiences for all students.\n\n
