 * Blended Learning Workshop- Rhonda Spells, Executive Director, eLearning PGCC, ITC February 2011**
 * Designing High-Quality Courses Blending Online and On-Campus Environments**

Hybrid courses are being called blended by Sloan. __NEW development:__ **Hi-FLEX model- student decides whether they come to class or participate in a regular online mode. 300+ student sections. Kent State** 1. **Faculty member used to both environments. Specific training for hybrids**. 1 . **Clear Evidence that the course is blended: Transparency between in-class and online. Be sure course is labeled hybrid.**
 * Factors that Affect Quality in Blended Courses **
 * 2. Course design:**
 * 3. Course delivery**
 * 4. Course content**
 * 5. CMS**
 * 6. Institutional Infrastructure (Testing in a hybrid course is tricky)**
 * 7. Student engagement**
 * Successful Hybrids **
 * 2. Feature in class the material you'd like to get immediate feedback on. Feature the interactivity.**
 * 3. Do more online self-produced videos for lecture type.**
 * 4. Clear instructions, well-organized modules, easy to navigate. Carefully thought-out plan in advance, not off the cuff.**
 * 5. At the end of class, you say " Now when you go online. this is what you are going to do....."**
 * 6. Measurable learning objectves stated so that students can understand them and know what is expected.**
 * 7. Engaging content and materials. MERLOT, Khan Academy (math), MIT Courseware, Wisc-Online (Math, Gen Ed., FL:Spanish andChinese resources)**
 * 8. Engaging Uses of Technology: JDVoiceMail.findmysoft.com-audio voice mail; Wimba Voice Tools; Switch (converts audio format to any other format);Voice Thread; Jing;YouSeeU;**
 * 9. Interaction between students- Discussion board, group projects, Twitter, Whiteboard exercise, skype groups**
 * 10. Effective Assessment and Student Evaluation:Students should know what learning objectives each assessment is related to. Multiple assessment strategies, Clearly-statedcourse grading policies.**

 * Photography as organising principle. You can go on automatic in photography, like in teaching. **
 * Le vine starts on flick. Sharon Purity on flick. **
 * Instants phone apt **
 * Creates a new niche, **
 * Aperture- Wide let's you see subject in crisp focus. You cannot do this in automatic. **
 * In teaching and learning when you go wide it is just the big pig. **
 * Shutter speed gets you frozen motion that you cannot see otherwise. Or it can get you the flow. **
 * !Framing in teaching and learning means tuning in to interesting perspectives. **
 * Do photos tell the truth? **
 * Flick photos have a story. DIY coming back. P2PUniversity, KHAN Academy, When you know what you want to learn DIY works. But it does not account for discovery learning. **
 * Photo a day community in flick. **
 * The Daily Shoot on Twister.. Tell the story of a subject today by focusing on a detail. Photographers who do this see their photocopy changing based on seeing the work of others. **
 * You see detail in the world based on the daily assignment. **
 * Think about if this happened in life? In school? In the classroom? **

How can we help others with technology rather than compete? Restricting access is generally inappropriate. Primary agenda in education should be in becoming non-rivalrous. External expression of ideas in music and film industry has become potentially non-rivalrous.

Copyright is contrary to education.Textbooks-the model is flawed where we decide what is to be bought and students have to pay for it. Decisions are made without consideration of the learner’s ability to pay for the books. Advanced teaching is giving of yourself. Without caring, the teaching process becomes business-like. Policy sometimes prevents us from being the caring teacher who is generous.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the LMS folks would share information on how often the learner is accessing different parts of our courses and allow us to identify the tough areas? Autopsy data is the current scenario. We analyse why students fail after we can no longer help them. What if we could look deeper at what content works and what doesn't on a micro rather than macro level? Does your LMS help you see performance data that allows you to reflect on your teaching practice? Is the content the problem? If you could identify the content that is not working you can get rid of it and substitute content that works.
