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 course focuses on designing courses and activities for blended (part online and part face-to-face) and synchronous online 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.
