  4. Blended learning – to blend or not • Best way to Integrate Learning? • Why we chose Blended learning? • What it is? • A blended learning approach integrates face to face classroom methods with a range of e-learning activities. The goal is to combine the best aspects of both face to face and online instruction.

  5. Blended Midwifery Programme • Single programme, jointly developed and owned by both CPIT and Otago Polytechnic • 4 year Bachelor of Midwifery programme delivered in 3 years (45 weeks/year; 4800 total hours) • Blended Delivery Model NOT Distance Learning • Christchurch, Nelson/Marlborough; West Coast; South Canterbury satellites • 3 x 15 wk trimester plus 7 wks A/L plus 6 ‘study weeks’ • Year 1 & 2 - Intensives 4 x 2 wk blocks at CPIT; weekly tutorials (face to face 3-4 hours & on-line 2 x 2hrs each) plus self directed on line modules and practical experience in own area. • Year 3- two intensives at CPIT plus 33 weeks practical experience throughout NZ

  6. What works wellMidwifery Tutorial Model • Evolution of the weekly tutorial sessions • Size of group • Length – 3 or 4 hours • Locally based • Maori/Pacific Island students • One designated Midwifery Lecturer for each group: • Ākonga - Kaiako • Tutorials focus on debriefing and discussion of practice experiences, learning practice and communication skills, alignment with course modules & programme objectives.

  7. Students’ experiences of tutorial model • Social Connection or isolation? • Communities of Learning

  8. Tutorial Groups as Communities of Learners “Really great to debrief and share experiences (both good & bad), and ideas with other students. Very helpful to have a tutor to answer questions about and/or expand on … what experienced/observed in practice.” (Y2 2012) “I think too that we also learn perhaps without realising we are learning to be with women … because we are diverse people sharing different opinions and you do have to – well I learnt like greater tolerance and understanding.”(Y2 2011)
