Blended Learning (BL) is an integration of face-to-face and distance education predicated on empirically based and pedagogically sound principles. It is not simply shifting a portion of a course to an online environment. Rather, it involves careful planning to insure that in-class and independent activities support and compliment course objectives. This workshop will provide participants with a specific roadmap to successfully implement a BL course. The rationale for BL, challenges incurred when developing BL and methods of blending will be presented in the workshop.
