Teaching a Hybrid NUflex course in the classroom will be very similar to how previous classes have been taught, and will leverage many of the same teaching tools, including Canvas and Zoom. Many of the classrooms across Northeastern are being optimized to allow faculty to more easily teach a course with the methods of their choosing and with which they are most familiar.

Classroom Types

Ahead of the fall 2020 semester, over 190 classrooms were outfitted with upgraded technology and systems that maximize the experience for both faculty and students the Hybrid NUflex learning model. All registrar-managed classrooms are configured in one of four types as described below. Please refer to the classrooms by type listings later on this page to see which classrooms are included.

Classroom Features Comparison

The chart below helps to visualize the features available for each classroom type. All registrar-managed classrooms will have a computer, audio speakers, and a lectern or table for instructors at the front of the room.

*Faculty teaching on campus can request instructor mics to amplify their voices, if desired in addition to the existing mics already available in classrooms. This will amplify the voices in the room for the benefit of in-person students rather than remote students. This microphone type is not compatible with personal devices or laptops. Learn how to request and use Classroom Mics.

Classrooms by Type

Below is a list of the registrar-managed classrooms, and some department-managed classrooms, by the type of technology with which they will be outfitted for fall 2020. This list is subject to change.
