Hyflex use and its implications in higher education between 2014-2022: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

This article presents a systematic literature review to identify the characteristics, benefits, and difficulties of using HyFlex in higher education, between 2014 and 2022. After a search process in Web of Science and Scopus, and the
selection and extraction of data, from a total of 717 articles, 17 investigations were analyzed in depth. The Hyflex model emerged in 2006, but boomed during the pandemic between 2021-2022, with a concentration of 76% of the research between these years. Forty-seven percent of publications were generated in the United States, while the remaining 53% were distributed among 6 countries. This
article contributes to an update of the elements linked to the application of the Hyflex model in higher education, considering its variations according to the institutional needs and the decisions linked to the formative management to maintain its use in educational institutions in post-pandemic training.
