Abstract:
Taking in to account of the transition of education activities from traditional classroom to online
due to covid-19, Pakistan has faced a new social inequality – Digital Divide. To fight this
inequality among masses in Pakistan, this research proposes a new way of instructional design
i.e., HyFlex. Generally access to education is problematic in Pakistan. Hyflex gives easy access
to education for Pakistani students through improved methods of delivery. HyFlex stands for
for Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) Classroom. Hyflex is an instructional technology that cuts of the
boundaries between distance learning and traditional classroom. HyFlex gives flexibility to
students to choose method of attending lectures. Because of the rising digital divide in Pakistan,
not every student has access to internet /electricity/digital devices etc. Hence, this instructional
technology can facilitate students and teachers to attend lectures according to their flexible time
and needs. This research aims to measure through HyFlex availability of the course, level of
attained learning outcomes, student motivation and accessibility of hardware technology
(Smart classroom). A survey on the google forms was conducted from the Pakistani university
students majority of them were computer science students. The results were analyzed on
AMOSS SPS. The findings show that academic self-efficacy is attained among students
through course satisfaction and course effectiveness.
