The Laurus Experience

HyFlex courses provide a dynamic mix of in-person, synchronous, and online learning, offering unmatched flexibility. This format particularly benefits adult learners balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. All course materials are readily accessible online, ensuring convenient learning from anywhere.

Grounded in learning science, HyFlex integrates key principles such as retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and active learning. Interactive elements—including discussion boards, quizzes, and course projects—enhance engagement while aligning with proven teaching strategies.

Additionally, HyFlex courses accommodate varied learning paces and cultivate a strong sense of community, regardless of location. This inclusive approach ensures that students, including those with work or family obligations, can maintain continuous engagement. The flexibility to transition between modalities minimizes disruptions due to unforeseen circumstances, making HyFlex a valuable option for both learners and employers seeking workforce development.

Academic Delivery Methods

100% Online Programs and Courses

The 100% online programs and courses offer the ultimate flexibility for students who need to balance their studies with other commitments. These programs are designed to provide the same rigorous academic experience as the on-campus offerings, but with the convenience of accessing coursework from anywhere in the world. Students can engage with course materials, participate in discussions, and complete assignments entirely online, allowing them to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. This delivery method is ideal for those who require a high degree of flexibility due to work, family, or other personal responsibilities.

HyFlex Delivery and Courses

The HyFlex (Hybrid-Flexible) programs and courses provide a versatile learning experience that combines the best of both online and in-person education at one of our in-residence locations. Students enrolled in HyFlex courses have the option to attend classes in person, participate online in real-time, or engage with recorded sessions at their convenience. This model supports diverse learning preferences and schedules, offering students the freedom to choose how they engage with the course material each week. Whether preferring the structure of a traditional classroom, the flexibility of online learning, or a mix of both, HyFlex courses are designed to accommodate various needs and help students succeed.

Students who live within the vicinity of one of Laurus College’s In-Residence locations have the option of enrolling as an In-Residence student. All In-Residence students may choose to attend their courses either onsite or remotely.

Veteran students who are enrolled as in-resident students are required to attend onsite for a minimum of one (1) 50-minute class session during the term to be considered “In-Residence” for determining a student’s Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH). Should a student fail to meet this minimum requirement, that student will be certified as “online” for that term by the institution’s School Certifying Official (SCO).

In-Residence Locations

Laurus College operates several in-residence locations which feature instructor workstations, administrative offices and computer labs. All in-residence locations operated by Laurus College are modern, well lit, air-conditioned, clean, and safe. 

Computer workstations located at each in-residence facility are internet connected and equipped with all software and peripherals students will need to login to their scheduled class and access the virtual classroom. Students may also bring their school-issued laptops onsite and use the College’s high-speed internet connection.

While onsite, students will have access to a range of residential services, though not all services are available in person at every campus location. Some services are delivered virtually, while others are offered physically onsite. During their time onsite, students will be directed to the available residential services, which include academic advising with student services team members, career advising, graduate placement assistance, and community outreach activities. Students also have access to printers and copy machines at each location.

 

Distance Education

All courses are delivered over the internet (i.e., distance education) through a synchronous e-learning platform using a Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) learning management system (LMS). In addition to Moodle, courses use Adobe Connect, which supports the virtual classroom through synchronous live classroom lectures and labs. Adobe Connect allows our students to actively engage and receive feedback with their instructor and other students through the latest enhanced features such as smaller breakout rooms, recording sessions, etc.
