The Effective Blended Learning Strategy
Our Blended learning is often mixed with Instructor Led learning programs. Let’s roll our sleeves and scrutinize this phenomenon. What is the difference? Are there any similarities with traditional methods? What’s the perfect blend? What do you blend anyway?
Blended learning offers the best of both worlds. Not only do you benefit from the implementation of a synchronous learning strategy, but also you have the chance to benefit from “go at your own pace” techniques that are part of an asynchronous learning strategy.
Defining Blended Learning Course Objectives
Our Blended learning strategy begins like any other learning program design:
The blended learning course objectives will cover both the online and the live aspects of the course. They will help keep the content within its scope and design the right activities for their appropriate environment. The learning objectives are similar to a roadmap that show direction and the end line.
Creating A Course Outline to Guide Learners
There are a number advantages of defining the course outline in the syllabus. The learner can utilize the syllabus to stay on track during the blended learning course. This type of course demands a certain degree of autonomy and independent learning. A course outline will be appreciated by both the learner and the facilitator.
The facilitator or the instructor can use the outline as the compass as well as ensure that the course progresses at the right pace. The blended learning course outline includes the instructor’s contact details, the course’s resources, the course’s objectives, the assignments and project details, their deadlines, the assessments and their grading weight.
Determining the Interactivity Level
One of the best things about the blended learning strategy is the degree of control we have over deciding the level of interactivity in your course. What parts of the content will be covered in the virtual, eLearning environment and what parts will be covered in classroom meetings. Which areas will be self-paced and what aspects need to be covered as a group through collaborative projects.
Our selected blended learning strategy enables us to select from a plethora of educational technology tools. These include social collaboration tools, gaming applications and multiple-format information for sharing and creation.
Planning Group Activities
Group collaboration is the main focus of the blended learning strategy. We Use the JIGSAW model of creating a productive study and project groups. Also assess strengths and weaknesses of learners. Determine how we can form groups of an heterogeneous mix of talents so that they can learn from each other.
The exchange of unique ideas, skills, experiences and perspectives creates a powerful knowledge sharing environment when learning in groups.
Establishing Communication Guidelines
We provide contact information for all mentors and facilitators involved in the course. This includes email addresses and mobile numbers. We advice instructors and facilitators to respond within 24 – 48 hours to maintain the learners’ trust.
Providing Resources and References
One of the wonderful things about our blended learning is the use of online resources and tools available to supplement course materials. There are a multitude of learning materials and a wealth of learning objects available as free links to encourage learners to develop deeper into the course’s content. In short, we provide every opportunity possible for success in the course.
Planned Assessment Strategy
Our blended learning strategy gives a different approach to assessment planning. We have the opportunity to conduct an online quiz, in class subjective tests or oral presentations to determine which strategy will help us track the learning progress.
In any assessment scenario, we provide a rubric for performance. Rubrics guide learners towards mastery and pave the way to improvement. We think about the end of the course (summative) and the end of the module (formative) assessments. Towards the end of each module, we advise revision of the main points so that they linger in the learners’ mind and help grasp new concepts easily.
Blended learning is truly a complex an most efficient learning strategy.
With the aid of our advanced plan and passion we, Go University and you will pull it off with success
