Blended Learning in Large Classes: Will it Work?
Date Friday, Dec 2 Time – RoomPotsdam I
There is no easy way to success with blended learning…. This study will show you why - and how you can overcome one of the main challenges. Online activities in a classroom setting may be regarded by your students as “unfamiliar” and could be the cause of lower satisfaction-rates. As blended learning only works if it is planned as a part of the course from the outset, how can you successfully integrate blended learning in the learning process?
