G. Conole, et al. (2004) provide an interesting perspective on how technology tools might be mapped against your learning intent. I recommend this strategy when deciding how to blend.
Blended learning does not simply involve shifting portions of face-to-face instruction Faculty Focus is a free e-newsletter and website that publishes articles on effective teaching strategies for the college classroom. This articles explains the re-conceptualization of the learning process in a hybrid course, as well as, detailing the steps of the ADDIE method (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation).
Although we have already learn this in chapter 1, this video explains it in a very easy way what it is. We can use to convince our faculty, coordinators, peers, etc :)
This document provides 10 cases with examples of how teachers have implemented blended learning in classes with more that 100 students. But If you do not want to read all of it, it has like a summary of cases grouped according to what calls your attention. E.g "Flipping the traditional lecture (or equivalent resource) into the on-line space to allow for greater gains in the face-to-face aspect" and then it shows you which cases applied that.
This paper by Terry Anderson and Jon Dron of Athabasca University is relevant to our discussions in Blended Learning. Although their focus is pure distance education, the constructs presented in their material are relevant to our BlendKit2014 work. I think we need to be more clear about how our pedagogical approach drives our learning design.
Lit review of the effectiveness of online asynchronous environments from 2003. The section on online interactions and the descriptions of learner-learner, learner-content, and learner-instructor interaction within the Community of Inquiry model is a good introduction to the CoI framework and interactions online.
I highly recommend this book if you are looking for prompts or creative ways to use journals in the classroom as well as in your profession.
