Graduate Course Description
Blended and Synchronous Learning Design™ Online
Overview
Given the growth of online teaching and learning, educators explore ways to incorporate best practices to meet the needs of all learners. This online blended learning course focuses on designing courses and activities for blended (part online and part face-to-face) and synchronous e-learning environments. Participants will progress from defining these environments to designing course outlines and learning activities, and will conclude with considerations for implementation, assessment, and evaluation of each.
