The Blended Learning Series of workshops was comprised of three live workshop sessions delivered in conjunction with independent activities guided by the Blended Learning Handbook. The three sessions were:

Blended Learning Series – What Will My Blend Be?

There is a lot of buzz around using blended learning to engage students and enhance learning. However, getting started with blended learning is not always a straightforward or self explanatory process. In this blended learning workshop, the first in the series, we will take the first steps in designing a blended course and explore:

  • What blended learning is, and its general benefits
  • What blended learning can look like in different courses
  • How blended learning strategies could be implemented in your course!
  • Tools to get started with your blended learning course design

Blended Learning Series – Blended Interactions

In this blended learning workshop, the second in the series, we will build on our Mix Map and take a few more steps in designing a blended course and explore:

  • What kinds of interactions might we use face-to-face vs. online?
  • What opportunities are there to use different instructional strategies than before?
  • What affordances and limitations exist for different interactions in both the face-to-face modality and online?

Blended Learning Series – Mixing Assessments

In this blended learning workshop, the third in the series, we will consider a number of common blended learning assessment strategies and explore:

  • Which assessment methods are appropriate for the learning outcomes in the course?
  • What are the trade offs between online and face-to-face assessments?
  • How might you implement formal and informal assessments in your blended course?
