Blended Learning with edX

Description: Educational technology is developing rapidly, and that development has presented educators with an opportunity to rethink and improve their pedagogical practices. The concept of blended learning provides a framework to help educators integrate online educational technologies into face-to-face classes purposefully. When done effectively, blended learning has been shown to enhance student engagement and improve students’ learning outcomes.

In this self-paced course, we introduce you to principles and practices of blended learning. We cover the benefits and challenges of creating blended learning experiences, discuss how to design and deliver a successful blended course, and provide specific strategies and examples for using edX content in your classroom.

Objectives:

  • How to understand the challenges and benefits of blended learning
  • How to evaluate and improve institutional and classroom readiness
  • How to assemble the correct personnel to run a course using the blended model
  • How to apply and adapt previous edX blended learning models to design your own course
