Blended Learning Course Design: A Boot Camp for Instructors
Blended courses combine the best pedagogical practices of two teaching methods—online and face-to-face instruction.
If you have considered converting a traditional course into a blended course, you have probably asked, “What should happen before, during, and after class?” It is an important question to consider because your answer will determine how you spend class time, how students are introduced to course content, and what opportunities they will have to work with new ideas and information.
In Blended Learning Course Design: A Boot Camp for Instructors you will answer these questions and make an informed decision about what should happen before, during, and after class. Through this process, you will:
Take one of your existing face-to-face courses and convert it into a blended format
Feel comfortable and confident with the technology so that IT becomes an aid rather than a barrier to communicating with your students
Learn the most pedagogically effective ways to blend instructional technology, course content, and course activities to promote interaction of students with each other, the instructor, and the content
Topics covered:
Course design principles
Pedagogical considerations
Technology how-to’s
Student engagement strategies
Participants will leave the two-day workshop with:
A better understanding of how to manage the three phases of a blended learning cycle: before, during, and after class
The ability to create a syllabus for a blended course
Ideas on how to organize their own LMS for a blended course
A greater familiarity with technology tools and how they can support learning
An outline of the work that they need to do before launching their blended course
Like all of The Teaching Professor offerings, Blended Learning Course Design: A Boot Camp for Instructors tackles a central issue for today’s higher education professionals who strive to improve the quality and satisfaction of their work.
