SESSION OBJECTIVES

1. Describe the concepts of blended learning

2. Identify how blended learning can standardize education

3. Identify critical components needed to achieve the goals of incorporating blended learning to improve efficiencies

Not all blended learning opportunities are equal or

equally valuable

BLENDED LEARNING OVERVIEW

• Mixing teaching/facilitation methods, learning styles, resource formats, technology, and a range of expertise into a learning stream

• Involves an intentional shift in learning format• Allows for instructional strategies that

combine different methods to achieve the goals of the curriculum

Disciplines

Generational

Differences

BLENDED LEARNING CONCEPTS

ANCHOR the education in authentic situations and activities that are case based and emphasize knowledge construction rather than transmission of information

BLENDED LEARNING CONCEPTS

SITUATE knowledge in multiple contexts and multiple representations of content to prepare for appropriate transfer of concepts

BLENDED LEARNING CONCEPTS

CREATE cognitive flexibility by ensuring that information is seen from multiple perspectives

BLENDED LEARNING CONCEPTS

SET THE STAGE but have the students collaborate and generate knowledge for themselves

BLENDED LEARNING: STEP 1NEEDS ASSESSMENT!!!!

• Who are the learners?• What are the goals?• What is the optimal training and

design? Analyze the training and course objectives Determine the method(s) to achieve the goal Aggregate the instruction into a blended learning

approach

WHAT IS THE RIGHT MIX?• Individual Performance

• Online Learning• Self-Study – Cost effective, self-pace

• Task Mastery• Simulation • Virtual Reality

• Team Training• Simulation• Face to Face interaction
