The design of instruction
How to decide about what strategies can be included in the online and the face to face environments to make the best use of the strengths of each format in the context of your teaching style and your discipline. When considering creating or redesigning their class in a blended format, these are some common concerns,
- How long does it take to work in my course
- Do we need to create videos? How will they be used?
- What type of videos are used? What are micro-lectures?
Look at the document Phases of Instruction and Examples. Then click on the image to watch the video that explains the process suggested in the document.
To help you imagine what your course will look like, think of what would be a good model for integrating whole class activities as well as group activities. Prof. K. Holland has created two visual diagrams that illustrate how she has envisioned integration in her Management course. Her page on course integration demonstrates how she presents this to her students as well.
