Mixed delivery course design is a modified hy-flex in which the f2f and the online versions proceed at the same pace. This course design may be the best option. Online students have equivalent, but not exactly the same, assignments and experiences as the face-to-face (f2f) students. In the modified version, faculty can operate a f2f class and broadcast to a synchronous, online group of students. Faculty may decide appoint a proxy, perhaps a TA, to ensure that the faculty member respond to questions and encourage comments from students who must attend the course online. As in hy-flex course design, face-to-face and online students move through the learning experiences according to thresholds for skill and knowledge acquisition as established by the instructor. The students cannot progress from beginning to end in the course without demonstrating that they have acquired skills and knowledge deemed essential to proceeding.
Hy-flex course design involves teaching a course in a face-to-face and online delivery method at the same time. It is one of the more resilient course design options because students can determine whether to be in-person or online.
This course design does not necessarily move students usually allows students to move at their own pace in the asynchronous components of the course. In this course design, face-to-face and online students move through the learning experiences according to thresholds for skill and knowledge acquisition as established by the instructor. The students cannot progress from beginning to end in the course without demonstrating that they have acquired skills and knowledge deemed essential to proceeding.

One of the benefits is that instructors no longer worry about attendance. Instead, instructors provide activities, podcasts, mini-cases, etc. that provide an equivalent learning experience for students who cannot—for whatever reason—attend class. When students complete the work, the instructor notes that they have attended class.In planning, a modified hy-flex in which the f2f and the online versions proceed at the same pace may be the best option.

Hybrid course design moves the students together through the course. They are all online at the same time and all face-to-face at the same time. The course meets at a pre-established time throughout the semester. Students who attend online attend sessions synchronously with those students who are in-person. Instructors may also ask students to participate in groups or teams for learning, incorporating online students into face-to-face interactive groups.
