Empowering the Learner in Higher Education Through Blended Learning

Date Friday, Dec 2 Time   –   RoomPotsdam I

Blended or hybrid learning has the potential to empower student learning in higher education in ways that hitherto have not been possible. This presentation will outline a wide range of methods by which online activities have been integrated into courses. Each of these models has particular strengths and limitations that will be contrasted and compared. The research on learners’ attitudes and perspectives toward blended learning will be discussed and the presentation will conclude with a discussion of how blended courses may be designed so that learners can be empowered in blended environments.
