Getting Nimble: Creating Blended Courses for an Uncertain Fall
As you know, while we are planning to resume on campus classes this fall, with provisions for social distancing that may mean staggered class meetings, the pandemic has thrown certainty out the window. Faculty may wish to prepare their courses now for flexible delivery.
Creating a blended course is one way to give yourself the flexibility that allows you to be prepared to teach to your own high standards, regardless of what fall brings. Blended courses weave together the best of online teaching with the best active learning and community-building strategies of face-to-face classes.
Here are some resources we have orchestrated for your use:
Blended Course Design Resources and Toolkit
Resources, information and an interactive toolkit for creating your blended course.
A Recording space with technology support
Classroom Support Services has provided a socially safe space for recording voice-over
PowerPoints, Echo 360, Blackboard Collaborate, etc.
