Pedagogical Considerations for Blended Pedagogy

A blended pedagogy combines traditional classroom delivery with online learning. Learning technologies are often used to supplement the traditional classroom. By design, blended pedagogies should offer students more flexibility and opportunities to demonstrate understanding. Blended pedagogies encourage instructors to create authentic, student-centered, reflective activities for students, thereby producing more well-rounded student learning outcomes. If you are considering teaching a blended course, the University of Illinois-Springfield offers guidelines to get started here. The “Pedagogical Considerations for Using Technology” video below from the May 2014 Blended Learning Forum provides good tips for planning your next blended class.
