Event Overview
Studies have shown that blended courses often produce the best results in helping students achieve the specified learning outcomes in a course. This is accomplished by providing the best of both worlds--offering both face-to-face classroom connections and technology-enhanced learning activities. This structure provides students with excellent learning opportunities; however, faculty and course designers must be prepared with the resources and skills they need to create well designed blended classes.

This workshop will provide attendees with opportunities to learn about and explore strategies for preparing faculty to teach in the blended environment, working with faculty to design blended courses, and supporting faculty while teaching a blended course. Presentations from experienced blended designers on these topics will be followed by hands-on exercises and group conversations. Attendees will learn proven strategies and best practices including usable examples of lessons, activities, or resources that they can use at their own institutions.

Workshop Outcomes:

● Describe strategies for training faculty to teach a blended course
● Identify best practices in blended course design
● Discuss critical factors for success in teaching blended courses
● Develop a plan to support faculty in teaching blending courses
● Connect with other blended design professionals
