Join us for a dynamic workshop where we introduce the Blended Learning Design Game, a fun and effective tool for designing robust blended learning programmes. This game helps educational teams prototype curriculum designs by starting with a learning outcome and working backwards to connect various teaching and learning activities across different modalities, such as online, on-site, workplace, and independent study. Participants will create blended design prototypes that include diverse learning activities, their resulting products, and various assessment methods. Our approach combines principles of blended learning, design thinking, and Diana Laurillard’s Conversational Framework.
