Continuing Professional Development

Rationale 

Blended Learning  should not be reserved for distance learning or course/programmes that have online components, but rather something that would benefit learners generally across all disciplines.  

Blended Learning as defined by Higher Education Academy (now a part of AdvanceHE ) describes Blended Learning as a pedagogy which "combines face-to-face and online activities in a seamless and complementary flow of learning".

Aims 

The aim of this workshop is to allow academic staff to explore what Blended Learning is and how it can be accomplished using a variety of approaches and tools.  

The session will look at:

• Instructional design and its application to your course
• Linking learning environments, spaces and experiences
• Blocks of learning and transitions
