  8. There are so many possibilities; do I have to do it all? • Good practice in blended learning doesn’t necessarily mean adopting a wide range of technologies for a particular course. • It can mean simply using a few tools, but in effective ways in order to achieve quality in teaching, learning and/or course management.

  9. Students struggle with, or drop out of,blended learning courses because… • The workload is too great - if face-to-face elements are not integrated but simply run parallel and independently from each other • They are provided with inadequate or no support and/or are confused about what is required of them • They experience problems with technology- high tech is often high risk.

  10. Managing students/Keeping students on track • Being clear about the “rules of engagement” • Giving clear guidelines, in advance, regarding what is required for each particular activity or element of the course. • Having a clear and definite structure for the course along with a clear rationale • Monitoring student participation

  11. It is not just about using technology because it is available….. Blended learning is about finding better ways of supporting students in achieving the learning objectives and providing them with the best possible learning and teaching experiences, as well as supporting teachers in their role (including the management and administration of courses).

  12. Process of integrating technology into learning and teaching practice

  13. Integration of blended learning in courses will naturally vary according to such factors as: • discipline • year level • student characteristics and needs • course or program learning objectives • academic’s approach to teaching • confidence and experience in using technology

  14. A reflection

  15. Lecture recordings……Why? • students can benefit from listening at their own face and or repeatedly • students may have good reason for not attending the class • study purposes • to capture the first lecture of the semester • students will learn that missing a lecture is not enjoyable or advantageous
