QUOTES FROM CAMPUS“I’ve come to realize that it’s really not about what we teach, but how we teach. I’m successful as a teacher when I’ve integrated technology and active learning seamlessly into my classroom. We cannot afford to use our face-to-face time with students in a passive way. My goal for every classroom experience is to see students talking about what they are learning, relating it to past experiences, reflecting on it and applying it to new experiences. Blended learning allows us to create more opportunities for students to retrieve and use the knowledge and skills they are learning – and that kind of learning is more likely to stick.”
Beth Martin School of Pharmacy
“We live in a world where information and communication technologies (ICTs) offer both great potential and great distraction. Blended learning provides a framework that can maximize the potential and minimize the distraction. By linking ICTs with active learning pedagogy, blended learning can move students from passive observers in the learning process to active participants.”
