BlendKit

I created this website to share free/low-cost apps/sites that offer helpful tech for instructors to create/embed content in their blended/online courses. 200+ resources...and counting! Please suggest additional resources.

Wow! So many choices... I personally like Springpad because I can easily relate to the notebook format. I also appreciate the ability to place a link/note in more than one notebook. https://springpad.com/blog/2014/01/clip-articles-to-springpad-that-you-want-to-read-later/

Nice blended learning image a bit down on the image.

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.

Great resource--thanks!

Most interesting strategies for archiving student work. Great learning objectives as well. Interesting way to present them. This is also an excellent example of how a tertiary educator can integrate information from the web straight into their course work. AND how universities can tap into the wonderful and expert learning tools created commercially (e.g. lynda.com) Thanks.

Interesting article about a design course using Ning as an LMS introduces the notion that "social presence" is an important piece of the blended learning puzzle

This is really useful - how do you estimate the completion time though?

"Learn about Education Elements and high level concepts of blended learning."

A University site targeting faculty. I like the overview of blended learning this first page provides. I also thought the links on the right, particularly the ones to specific examples of courses already 'blended', would provide next steps and local contacts for those wanting more. A good model for other institutions to follow.

EDUCAUSE E-Book " Game Changers: Education and Information Technologies"

Use this application to develop instructional objectives for your courses and instructional programs.

Thanks so much for this reference. A great resource that I can put to use immediately.

Wow! A wonderful tool! Useful for all persons designing courses. Thank you!

This presentation from Donna Ziegenfuss of the University of Utah's Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence demonstrates a model and process used in a graduate-level online course based on Dee Fink's approach to 'backwards planning".

Thank you for sharing this and the Fink document below. Donna presented at our Instructional Design summit. I use Fink worksheets with many faculty I work with here at SLCC.

In the BlendKit2014 Week 01 Webinar, there was a reference to 'backwards planning'. This idea comes from Dee Fink. This article by Fink is a helpful primer on this work.

The Clayton Christensen Institute recently began housing information on blended Learning on the Khan Academy site. It will be interesting to see how this "course" develops

This article considers using google tools to design online and/or blended learning courses.

Hybrid Pedagogy is an incredible resource for digital pedagogy, higher ed, and teaching and learning in the 21st century. I responded to this post; I agree with some, but not all of it. A good read.

One former employer provided pacing guides. This resource streamlined the process of selecting corresponding animations and video clips.

Report from the Oxford Group on Blended Learning

Since we were talking about communication last week, I liked reading this study. Students like ways to interact with each other online as well as in class; and faculty should communicate in a timely manner and give good feedback to students.

This is K12 oriented, but all of us can learn from each other. It includes 6 blended learning features, 10 blended learning drivers, and 4 common steps.
