Awesome resource for checklists (pre, during and post course) from Simmons College.

A resource for implementing Blended Learning.

Nice break down of flipped vs hybrid on facultyfocus.

Website that shortens urls - great for twitter!

EDUCAUSE Review Online Developed in response to the crisis in remedial and general-education math courses, this innovative model pairs an existing parent course with a one-unit supplemental hybrid course to provide a variety of interventions and practices to support students at California State University, Northridge. The model divides instruction among faculty, teaching assistants, and tutors, who coordinate content to create a "flow of learning" that actively moves students from classroom work, to group work, to homework, to exams. First fully implemented in 2008, the model's results have been dramatic - essentially reversing the downward trend in student success and vastly improving students' average scores and the distribution of the grades.

In redesigning introductory mathematics courses, NCAT's partner institutions have found that the Emporium Model has consistently produced spectacular gains in student learning and impressive reductions in instructional costs. Two different versions of the Emporium Model have been successful.

Despite the widespread popularity of online social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter, many students exhibit a reluctance to include faculty in their social networks. Given these personal preferences, how do social networks and education intersect? A pilot using Twitter to communicate important information about lab hours and support services yielded minimal student response.

Chapter 42. The Math Emporium Barbara L. Robinson and Anne H. Moore Virginia Tech's Math Emporium is an open, 60,000-square-foot laboratory with 550 Macintosh computers serving more than 8,000 math students each semester. The facility occupies renovated, leased space in an off-campus shopping mall. (See Figure 1.)

Useful to reference when designing a course - have you included all of these?

I agree that we should follow the guidelines included in the peer review document to know what to do in order to create an "exemplary" course. Why settle for less?

7 learning design principles that can help anyone make smart decisions when designing and creating online learning courses

As electronic communication becomes increasingly common, and as students juggle study, work, and family life, many universities are offering their students more flexible learning opportunities. Classes once delivered face-to-face are often replaced by online activities and discussions. However, there is little research comparing students' experience and learning in these two modalities.

One of the most neglected areas of online learning is the skills of online instructors. Like face-to-face instructors, online instructors need strong formation in content, instruction and assessment. But since they are teaching through technology, they also need formation in other areas (managing online learners, technology skills).

Mentioned in one of the BlendKit forums but nice resource to revisit. 4 parts with reflection for students, teachers, principals and this one whcih is a general taxonomy of reflection based on Bloom's
