UPED637 How to Design and Teach Blended Courses (day 2)

This course will explore ways to replace face-to-face course time with online activities using Mitt UiB.

Main content

This course is for instructors at UiB who would like to design and teach blended courses. A recent meta-analysis by the US Department of Education found that blended (or hybrid) courses produce significantly better student learning outcomes than traditional face-to-face or fully online courses. Blended courses are courses where a significant amount of the teaching and learning occurs online, often to the extent that some of the face-to-face time is reduced, replaced by online activities.

The course will take place on 3 Tuesdays and will focus chiefly on best practices for designing, developing, and teaching courses that have a significant amount of the instruction offered online. The course emphasizes the technical and pedagogical aspects of online instruction, as well as new pedagogical approaches for the classroom.
