Effective? Relevant?
• There is early evidence that a "blended" instructional approach can result in learning outcome gains (http://www.uic.edu/depts/oee/blended/workshop/bibliography.pdf).
• 93% of Higher Ed instructors and admin say they are using blended learning strategies somewhere in their institution. 7 in 10 expect more than 40% of their schools’ courses to be blended by 2013 (Bonk, C. J. & Graham, C. R. (Eds.).

Why Do it?
21st Century Competencies
21st Century Tasks

What’s the Balance?Goals, Policies, etc.
How much Face-to-Face time?
How much Online time?
“Web-Centric” vs. Fully Blended
![Page 8: Blended learning globaledcon 2010](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070302/54751623b4af9fb90a8b5998/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“The Flip” Version
Classroom time is used for interactive experiences / discussion of big ideas Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creative
problem-solving are done with instructor on the side
Online time is used for consumption of multimedia-rich content Student acquires important information on
his/her own

Students consume content

Gold-Standard Blended Learning
Student-Centered Students are “doing” online, teachers are facilitating
/ coaching Students make their own meaning by applying
(transferring) what they learn to "authentic, meaningful, worthwhile tasks” online, creating content
Performance Tasks and Assessments are Authentici.e. “real-world” Communicate and Collaborate Manage information Think Critically and Problem-solve Create own products with Authentic Audiences

Emerging: Mobile Learning
"We learn anywhere, anytime, anyplace; there are opportunities to learn all around us everyday. We learn in the home, office, on the road. Likewise, educational content can be shaped to fit all kinds of useful delivery media that is convenient, user-friendly, and (most important) serves the educational need of members without the content being shortchanged or trivialized." Smith,J.(2001)

Assessing Online Learning
Implications for Rubrics
include 2 traits to distinguish between: content understanding product/performance quality
Rubric must be properly weighted to reward the trait emphasized by the task/assessment
