JOLT - Blended Learning: An Institutional Approach for Enhancing Students' Learning E... - 0 views

  • The first suggestion for institutions that intend to implement blended learning is that they must be realistic about the investment of time, effort, and resources that are required for development and implementation. Institutions must create the necessary policy, planning, resources, scheduling, and support systems to ensure that blended learning initiatives are successful.
  • nstitutional factors. The first institutional factor required for successful blended learning is the allocation of dedicated services to support and assist learners and facilitators throughout the development and use of modules. This includes spending resources on communication to encourage instructors and prospective end-users to become actively involved and fully aware of blended learning initiatives (Garrison & Kanuka, 2004; Harris et al., 2009). The emphasis in this communication should focus on the learning and the associated outcomes rather than on the use of technology only. It should aim to encourage communication between users and developers, and help those involved to take full advantage of the resources available.

  • The final challenge for universities implementing blended learning is the difficulty in acquiring new learning technology skills, such as how to foster online learning communities, facilitate online discussion forums, and manage students (Dziuban & Moskal, 2013; Voos, 2003). As for students, technology can also be a challenge for universities implementing blended learning.
  • The other challenge for universities is the lack of support for course design. In order to ensure a successful blended learning experience for students, there must be university support for course redesign, which may involve deciding what course objectives can best be achieved through online learning activities, what can best be accomplished in the classroom, and how to integrate these two learning environments (Dziuban et al., 2006).
  • st as time concerns are a challenge for students, the first challenge for implementation of blended learning for universities is time commitment. Johnson (2002) estimates that planning and developing a large-enrollment, blended learning course usually takes two to three times the amount of time required to develop a similar course in a traditional format.

    "Garrison and Vaughan (2008) describe best practices for blended learning implementation in higher education. They underscore the need for a seamless connection between the face-to-face and online components in order to ensure a truly blended learning environment. Moreover, they advocate the superimposition of various other pedagogies, as appropriate - lecture, problem-based learning, just-in-time teaching, cooperative learning, and others - on the blended framework."

    " for a larger and more diverse cross-section of the population, to cater for emerging patterns on educational involvement which facilitate lifelong learning and to include technology-based practices in the curriculum" (p. 143). A source of this transformation stems from the ability of online learners to be both together and apart-and to be connected to a community of learners anytime and anywhere, without being time, place, or situation bound. Moreover, the increasingly prevalent practice of the convergence of text-based asynchronous Internet-based learning with face-to-face approaches is having a volatile impact on traditional campus-based institutions of higher education. To this point, the Pr"

Moving from Face-to-Face to Hybrid Delivery Using Moodle - 0 views

  •  
    " Participation in a hybrid course can be a tricky thing. If you plan on using participation as a portion of the students' grade, make sure you are clear as to what participation entails and for which part of the course, online or face to face. When students meet during class time, it's a great opportunity for group work, debate, case studies, or other active learning strategies. Time is precious and we never seem to have enough without reinventing the wheel each semester. Therefore, try using existing resources as a starting place for course content rather than creating all new online content yourself. You can always create your own content as needed. Take advantage of the training offered by your institution. You may have the opportunity to learn new skills or refresh existing ones like using the Joule Gradebook, Joule Reports, adding resources and activities. For more in-depth instruction on course "

  • Firstly, the use of a peer group discussion pyramid. This tries to overcome people who may lurk within discussions, ensuring they all contribute, but does acknowledge an individual’s participation is influenced by a number of factors. The use of a pyramid model, involves, stage 1 – personal reflection on the question stage 2 – create a group, with two people, they discuss the question stage 3 – create a group by combing two stage 2 groups, and they discuss the question stage 4 – create a group by combining two stage 3 groups, and they discuss the question

Course design: planning a flipped class | Centre for Teaching Excellence - 1 views

  • Often when instructors are planning to flip a class they focus all their attention on planning the activities that the students will do in class and on what the students will do online to prepare for that active learning in class. However, there are two other aspects of the flipped-class design that require planning; how the activities will be introduced to the students and how the instructor and the students will know that they have adequately prepared for the in-class experience.
