General Resources

Remote Teaching resources

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, APU pivoted to a temporary instructional modality known as remote learning (also called remote-hybrid). Remote classes strive to recreate the in-person classroom experience in a virtual environment with a mix of synchronous (real-time video conference meetings) and asynchronous (self-paced learning activities in Canvas) elements to maximize student engagement and faculty interaction. Remote classes have an attendance requirement. No modality change approval is needed for remote classes. The following resources are intended to help instructors design and develop their remote courses.

HyFlex Classrooms

As of Fall 2021, all APU classrooms are equipped with video conferencing technology. These Hyflex classrooms allow faculty to teach both in-person and remote students simultaneously. Hyflex classrooms strive to create an equitable learning environment for all students regardless of how they attend class. 

Below are two videos providing an overview of the technology in these classrooms. For a list of classrooms and their technology, please refer to this document. For technology-related questions, reach out to the IMT Support Center at support@apu.edu or 626-815-5050. For questions about pedagogy, course design, and student engagement, email our Canvas team at canvas@apu.edu.
