Blended learning design and practice

Blended learning design and practice

1. BL: different things to different people

   • BL courses combine face-to-face classroom teaching with an online component.
     • Work in related fields: CALL and SLA, motivation and learer autonomy

2. What should be done in class and which elements should be assigned to the online learning

   • Learner autonomy: take the charge of one's learning.
     • Students need to take responsability for working online during self-study periiods away from the classroom

3. It's a course designed as a mix of face-to-face and distance learning

   • Integrated combination of traditional learning with web based on-line approaches
     • A face-to-face classroom component with an appropriate use of technology
       • The inclusion of interactive white boards and CD-ROMs

4. 'Blended' due to the enough time in class timetable

   • The course fails to satiafy anyone's learning preference

5. Models

   • Mostly in class, supported by online work (70% - 30%)
     • A hybrid model (50%-50%)
       • Mostly online, with students dropping into a school for occasional classes (80%-20%)
         • 100% online
           • Lab rotaion: self-access center for online component of the BL course

6. Using the language communicatively

7. Roles of the teacher, possible materials, online homework

8. Contructing a BL Course

   • 1. Context: environments to obtain printed or online books
     • 2. Course design: materias or creating them digital to a platform
       • 3. Learners and teachers: supporting
         • 4. Evaluating the Blend:

9. There are many options to use BL according to every kind of class

   • Adapting the BL to future options
