Blended Course Design
Katie Linder shares about blended course design on Teaching in Higher Ed episode 113.
Quotes from the episode
Blended learning is not just a trend, and we’re starting to see technology integrated in really intentional ways.
—Katie Linder
One of the key things is alignment … between what you’re doing outside of the classroom and inside of the classroom.
—Katie Linder
Say to your students, “I’m going to give you an activity to do, and I’m going to lay out some guidelines for it, but I’m also going to give you quite a lot of freedom.
—Katie Linder
In the online environment, [social interactions] can still happen, but they just need to happen more intentionally.
—Katie Linder
There are ways that you can build in social presence activities into a blended classroom, both face-to-face and online, that are really encouraging interactions between you and your students and between your students and each other.
—Katie Linder
Because we don’t naturally reflect, it means that we have to intentionally build in reflection for our students.
—Katie Linder
