FLEX camps are short learning opportunities for instructors to focus on transitioning existing coursework to online and blended formats for maximal flexibility.

Objectives include
- Active online learning strategies
- Adapting assignments and content for online delivery
- Selecting an essential tech toolkit
- Instructor presence and student interaction
- Creation of an online or hybrid course plan
- Changing large lecture courses
