The Backchannel: Giving Every Student a Voice in the Blended Mobile Classroom - 6 views
-
A backchannel -- a digital conversation that runs concurrently with a face-to-face activity -- provides students with an outlet to engage in conversation. Every time I think about this tool, I remember my student, Charlie (not his real name). Given his learning challenges, he struggled to keep up during class discussions.
WRITING PROFESSOR AS ADULT LEARNER: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHY OF ONLINE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT - 2 views
-
This is an interesting auto ethnographic study of online learning - strikes me as a parallel method to the one Kelvin Thompson explores in his thesis: http://onlinecoursecriticism.blogspot.com.au/2005/08/overview-of-online-course-criticism.html

Not exactly about blended learning but this is a new paper I wrote with some colleagues about different approaches to pedagogies that build resilience through active learning. In this paper we discuss group activities and assessments used in two Creative Arts disciplines (Performance and Journalism), at an Australian regional university, as examples of subjects which provide 'real world' experience in order to promote resilience and tenacity in students.
Flipped Classrooms 101 - A self-paced, short course - 4 views

You've all met the Boredom Monster. He's that big blob lurking around our classrooms, poking students in the sides with his slimy fingers for attention and vexing us as we try with all our might to teach content in engaging and inspiring ways. Flipped teaching can trap the Boredom Monster before he infiltrates your classroom...

This isn't exactly a blended learning course but it includes a lot of resources if you are getting students to do self directed multimedia courses as part of blended learning design. I also really like the curriculum design/progression. It is an advanced composition course that engages students in a comprehensive exploration of contemporary rhetoric, creative inquiry, design thinking, media authorship, self-reflection, and social engagement. Directed writings in concert with video production projects allow students to experience an integrated process of thinking, creating, and problem-solving.
Blended Learning and Localness: The Means and the End | The Sloan Consortium - 2 views
-
Interesting to think about leveraging our "localness". This is part of broader research from Sloan that posits that local universities and colleges can leverage their local brand when they establish quality online or blended courses. Not everyone is going to do the MOOC at Harvard just because it is being offered by a big name university. They may well go with a trusted local brand particularly if we offer a blend of online and personalised experience.

A time-based blended learning model - 6 views
-
This paper proposes a new model of blended learning in which physical teaching environments give way to time. Time and synchronicity become the primary elements of the learning environments. In addition, the authors suggest that the time-based model as an educational "new normal" results in technologies as enablers rather than disruptors of learning continuity.
