Learning Café DES234
Blended Learning Design - Engaging, Effective and at Scale
Date Friday, Nov 29 Time –
Most leading universities and colleges have aspirational strategies to enhance blended learning. Often, thousands of courses require change, but few teachers have the learning-design skills, technology knowledge, and above all time to remodel programmes. ABC is a tried and tested learning-design method with a free toolkit that everyone can use to design blended courses that meet learning outcomes. This Learning Café offers a great chance to evaluate the applicability of the approach in practice and join the global ABC community - and of course to develop a sample storyboard of your course.
