Overview

This course presents foundational information about blended learning, including definitions, strategies, examples, and reflective activities primarily presented in multimedia format. The goal of the course is for teachers and administrators to have a basic understanding of the different forms of blended learning and how they might integrate them into courses they provide to student populations they currently serve as well as those they would like to begin serving.

Note: This course is intended for educators who have either already completed the three IDEAL Expanding Access modules or have experience working in distance education models. It will not be facilitated; however, an end-of-course webinar will provide you with the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with colleagues and Distance Education PD Specialist Diana Satin.
