There is a growing trend in education at all levels toward blended learning models. This approach requires teachers to rethink their roles in the classroom. This course will introduce you to the various blended learning models used throughout the country. In this course, you will explore the implications on instruction of a blended learning model. In one version of blended learning, the “flipped classroom” teachers must learn to weave online and face-to-face experiences so that maximum learning occurs. This course will guide you through online community building exercises that must happen for students to have successful online experiences. You will also see how the flipped classroom model can be achieved in many ways and is not video-dependent. In addition, you will explore the importance of asking good questions that elicit critical thinking from students and appropriate assessments for this blended learning model.
