Another way this study is significant is it contributes to reduce the dearth of empirical
literature on the topic of student equity in HyFlex learning environments. By giving voice to
minoritized students about their experiences in HyFlex courses, this study opens that line of
inquiry and invites further research to investigate this phenomenon from the point of view of
students with similar backgrounds to the participants in this study. Because HyFlex generally
encompasses the range from onsite face-to-face to fully online and everything in between,
another major point of significance of this study is it increases awareness about the barriers
minoritized students face in achieving their academic goals in all modes. This study is a potential
knowledge fund for practitioners seeking to design and deliver equitable learning experiences in
a new era where educational institutions, as with every other sector of society and the economy,
have come to rely on hybrid forms of conducting their business.
