Getting It Done: Instruments for Building an Effective Blended Program The answer is an area and depends on student’s independent learning ability DE Structure Course materials, well defined activities, schedules, etc. F2F 0 Moore’s TD Theory Dialog Maintain optimal “transactional distance” using both structure (CMS-supported) and dialog (both async and sync communications). f2f sessions, online discussions, video collaboration 17 Exceeding Comparability: 1 - Empower Faculty  We work with faculty to enhance the variety of teaching approaches  Assist with program design for multi-modal delivery  Provide tools and assistance for developing rich multimedia content  Manage course logistics  Create a sense of community for you and your students Exceeding Comparability: 2 - Broaden the Audience  We help you to increase student quality and diversity by breaking traditional residency barriers and meeting the highest student expectations:  Flexibility and choice (accommodate different lifestyles and personal preferences)  Updated facilities and support for new communication patterns (welcome “digital natives”)  Focus on developing practical skills and workplace competencies to supplement academic knowledge and ensure long-term student success. The Rise of Blended Learning MET identified blended learning as a strategic priority for future growth in order to protect and enhance our enrollments, and to create a practical option to extend our reach and pursue specific opportunities, both regional and international. eLive: •Represents a pre-determined balance of some classroom and continuous online education •Improves the quality of teaching through ongoing engagement and interaction •Promotes student success by focusing on active learning that is immediately applicable to professional skills and everyday life. Recording and Delivery • Full/partial lectures recorded in real time: – In a classroom setting – Online lectures and meetings • Tutorials, homework reviews, etc. recorded offline • Automation of encoding/publishing is a key • Choice of technologies and cost controls (see next slide) Effort Know-how Innovation and Adoption Strategies (The Dichotomy of Passion) Time Complex tools require longer and/or multiple training sessions. At the same, skills will be lost if not routinely used. Know-how Innovation and Adoption Strategies (The Dichotomy of Passion) Pareto (80/20) Principle Effort 20% Time Strategy 1: Reduce learning curve by focusing on essential functionality (80%) Know-how Innovation and Adoption Strategies (The Dichotomy of Passion) Service Effort 20% Time Strategy 2: Reduce learning curve by extending service levels (SLA) Blended Design and Delivery • Examine and discuss best pedagogical practices for blending face-to-face and online learning • Discover how you can help your students rewind, relive, and reconnect with the classroom experience • Discover how to maintain community and continuity outside of the classroom Mixing it Up • Analyze Course Objectives – Break down into learning objects • Determine the Best Delivery Approach – Online, in the classroom, or both • Build the Course – Logical grouping of material – Consider delivery method Considerations • • • • • • • • • Missed Class English Proficiency Challenges Prerequisite Material Challenging Topics Advanced Content Cross-course Content Faculty Time Constraints Office hours, One-on-One Time Collaborative Work Lecture Capture with Echo360 1. Audio Capture 2. Video Capture 3. Screen Capture Summary • Blended learning takes advantage of online technologies, but simple use of online technologies does not make a course blended • Blended learning describes instruction in terms of outcomes – and not the number of hours a student spends each week in classes, labs and seminars. • Blended programs assume a commitment to maintain course structure throughout the program.
