I would recommend that you try subscribing/registering to EDUCAUSE (I did not have to pay anything). They are already sending me additional information about new webinars on blended learning (one is coming up in April). I also recommend that you review the rubric offered in chapter 5 from CSU, Chico (Rubric for Online Instruction), which provides great insight into what a quality/exemplary course should be like. Hope this helps!

I found the Open Culture website very interesting! I'm sure it can provide some alternative content to some of our classes. Free ebooks, for instance, as well as YouTube short clips on almost everything (mostly on the humanities, though). Even for our own leisure and enjoyment this is one site I will save as a favorite...Thanks for sharing!

Is anyone interested in this topic? I am trying to figure out how we can convert some of our classes (lit searching in PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, etc.) into blended courses and if it's going to work out well. Join in the conversation!

This is a very creative way of providing us with information about blended learning and I enjoyed the presentations and video clips. It put me more at ease at the whole idea of creating a course. I'm sure a lot of you have done that already and are transferring content to the LMS. I am sure that you all will be very grateful to have experienced this course, which has provided us with tons of creative ideas for us to "do our own thing." In the end, when we have more experience, we will remember how we started on this trajectory and I'm sure it will bring back good memories of all that we learned here...

Check out this website which contains multiple blogs about blended learning...

I'm thinking at the most one month! But it really should be decided by the learner...I wish that the whole thing could be done online...but here we are talking about a blended environment, so there has to be a F2F session. In that case I would think that two F2F sessions, one at the beginning and one at the end, would work best in an academic library environment.

Nice overview of how e-Learning and blended learning is being used in medical education.
