Discover what flexible learning can look like at WMU and in your own area of focus. Collaborate and converse with those who are testing out different ideas and doing research to improve practice and our student outcomes. This group gives participants the opportunity to discuss the definition, purpose, design, and facilitation of HyFlex learning experiences.

Learning Communities and Cohorts
Throughout the academic year, WMUx offers a variety of ongoing programming to support and grow our teaching and learning efforts for the WMU community.
Learning communities enable participants to explore a topic in-depth, generate ideas for further exploration, and provide WMUx with advice on future programming and scholarship of teaching and learning opportunities. Each group is facilitated or co-facilitated by a WMUx instructional designer or WMUx Office of Faculty Development staff member.
Learning cohorts operate similarly, though they are often created to continue work based on an initial group learning experience or opportunity such as New Faculty Orientation, grant recipients, and the like.
