This is a fully online workshop through Sloan-C.

Event Summary:

A significant amount of learning has been moved online making it possible to reduce the amount of time spent in class. Blended courses attempt to combine the best elements of traditional face-to-face instruction with the best aspects of distance education. Faculty can teach in new ways and students are more accountable for own learning.

Participants will:

• Reconceive your traditional face-to-face courses for blended teaching and learning
• Follow backwards design principles to design a course module
• Build learning community by adopting effective practices for asynchronous discussion
• Learn techniques for integrating face-to-face and online work, and apply them to your own courses
