Have a course to use in the learnshop
A word about resources Our objectives
• To define blended learning • To differentiate blended from other online
delivery formats • To be able to review a blended course and
evaluate its strengths and weaknesses
What are yours?

So many definitions, so little time…
Blended

What is Sloan-C?
Blended learning courses combine online and classroom learning activities and resources in an optimal way to improve student learning outcomes and to address important institutional issues.
Classroom attendance (“seat time”) is reduced.

Proportion of Content Delivered Online
Type of Course
Typical Description
0% Traditional Course with no online technology used — content is delivered in writing or orally.
1 to 29% Web Facilitated Course which uses web-based technology to facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. Uses a course management system (CMS) or web pages to post the syllabus and assignments, for example.
30 to 79% Blended/Hybrid Course that blends online and face-to-face delivery. Substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, typically uses online discussions, and typically has some face-to-face meetings.
80+% Online A course where most or all of the content is delivered online. Typically have no face-to-face meetings.

What you call it is not important, but establishing a defined and consistent model is
Blended learning as an optimized pedagogical approach, rather than an arbitrary time division between online and F2F

A safe way to explore online learning
A way to meet Net Gen student expectations◦ Attractive alternative to F2F instruction
◦ A good match for the Net Gen’s visual, exploratory, participative learning preferences
Usually more work (at least at the beginning), but likely worth it in terms of improved student engagement and achievement
The best of both worlds

To develop a successful blended course instructors must ◦ Re-examine course goals and
objectives,
◦ Design online learning activities to meet these goals and objectives,
◦ Effectively integrate the online activities with the face-to face meetings, and
◦ Make transition from lectures and presentations to a more student-centered active learning environment
