Episode Synopsis

Dr. Brian Beatty from San Francisco State University discussing "Addressing the Challenges of Assessment in HyFlex Courses Using Custom GPTs." Dr. Beatty, a professor of instructional design, introduces the concept of HyFlex learning, which blends face-to-face, synchronous, and asynchronous online instruction to offer students flexible participation choices, initially developed to address enrollment issues. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on how he leverages generative AI—specifically custom GPTs built on platforms like ChatGPT—to support both student self-assessment and faculty course design in these complex, multi-modal environments. He details various student-facing GPT tools he created for engagement and formative assessment, such as "QuizMe" and "Breakout for 3," and explains the simple process of building these custom tools. The presentation also addresses assessment challenges in HyFlex, emphasizing the need for equivalent learning outcomes across all modes and the importance of authentic, flexible, and self-assessment strategies.
