  1. Blended Learning CID Learn @ Lunch Presented by Robin Popow

  2. Workshop Topics • Definition of Blended Learning • What the data is telling us… • Trends • Why use it? What can it help to solve? • What does it look like? • Strategies & Tools • Design Strategies • Resources & References

  3. Definition of Blended Learning …blended learning courses combine online and face-to-face time in an optimal way to improve student learning outcomes and to address important institutional issues. Sloan Consortium

  4. Definition of Blended Learning • Offers more effective pedagogical practices providing opportunities for interactive rather than transmissive strategies.

  5. What the data is telling us… • Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning - A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online Learning Studies (Means Report 2010): • Instruction combining online and face-to-face elements had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction than did purely online instruction. • Effect sizes were larger for studies in which the online instruction was collaborative or instructor-directed than in those studies where online learners worked independently.

  6. What the data is telling us… • Effect sizes were larger for studies in which the online and face-to-face conditions varied in terms of curriculum materials and aspects of instructional approach in addition to the medium of instruction. • Blended and purely online learning conditions implemented within a single study generally result in similar student learning outcomes.

  7. Trends • Horizon Report 2012 • Time-to-Adoption Horizon:1Year or Less • Mobile Apps • Tablet Computing • Time-to-Adoption Horizon: 2-3 Years • Game-Based Learning • Learning Analytics • Time-to-Adoption Horizon: 4-5 Years • Gesture-Based Computing • Internet of Things

  8. Why use it? What can it help to solve? • A safe way for instructors or departments to explore learning online without launching a fully online program or initiative. • Offers a way to meet Net Generation student expectations for a more technologically enhanced and pedagogically diverse learning environment that also provides some scheduling alternatives. • Has the potential to produce cost and time savings (even though developing and teaching a blended course is at least initially more labor intensive), while also improving student engagement, achievement, and access.

  9. Why use it? What can it help to solve? • Offers the possibility of varying and flexing the amount of time that learners are expected to spend online and use technology to meet their own needs, as well as curricular and programmatic needs. • Has the potential—depending on how it is deployed—to reduce the burden on physical space. For instance, twice as many class sections could be accommodated in a model where courses are scheduled to meet alternatively during the week 50% online and 50% face-to-face.

  10. What does it look like? Examples & Models: • Enable more skills development time - Auto Collision Repair • Allow for diverse cultural participation - SFU M.Ed forums http://www.knowledgeforum.com/Kforum/Products/Intro/audiooff/tour1.html • Assessment portfolio and reflection tool - BScN Portfolios & Gradebook • Practice alternative to audio lab - Court Interpreting (dev) • Repository of lab experiments - Science • Moving theory out of the classroom - The inverted classroom: http://derekbruff.com/site/blog/2011/04/28/mobile-learning-and-the-inverted-classroom-edusprint/ • Convert theory to student created content opportunities - uses for mobile devices: http://www.k12handhelds.com/101list.php • HyFlex model – lectures: http://www.educause.edu/Resources/7ThingsYouShouldKnowAbouttheHy/218263 • The replacement model (NCAT): http://www.thencat.org/PlanRes/R2R_Model_Rep.htm

  11. Strategies & Tools • Integration, Relationship, Accountability • What content or types of content are best delivered face-to-face and what can be delivered in a non-face-to-face setting or online? • Community Building, Student Collaboration, Assessment and Evaluation • Describe what the integration, relationship, and accountability mechanism might be… • Simmons University Faculty Interviews: • Tips for blending http://at.simmons.edu/blendedlearning/learnhow/casestudies/teeley/interview.php • Engaging Students with Authentic Voices: http://at.simmons.edu/blendedlearning/learnhow/casestudies/teeley/interview.php • Group work: Integrating Online & f2f http://at.simmons.edu/blendedlearning/learnhow/casestudies/volkman/interview.php • Group work: Generating higher-order thinking http://at.simmons.edu/blendedlearning/learnhow/casestudies/volkman/interview.php • Facilitating Online Discussions: Creating community http://at.simmons.edu/blendedlearning/learnhow/casestudies/volkman/interview.php • Collaborative Course Design: Increased Depth of Learning http://at.simmons.edu/blendedlearning/learnhow/casestudies/morner/interview.php

  12. Design Strategies • Take the time to design the entire course, as opposed to one piece at a time while the course is in progress. • Remember to build in plenty of activities and engagement opportunities. • As much as possible, provide students with a learning experience that includes individual contact and assistance via assessment, prompt feedback, and communication.
