Students meet f2f – teacher uses simple technology such as email, or web for e-lectures.
Students meet f2f – teacher uses technology such as simulations, tutorials, digital video.
Students meet online - teacher uses simple technology such as CMS, electronic bulletin boards.
Students meet online – teacher uses multiple asynchronous and synchronous technology such blogs,wikis and interactive videoconferencing

Blended Learning as Ecosystem
As blended learning matures and develops, it is evolving into a seamless, organic environment or ecosystem
It is the artful design of a teaching and learning experience that leverages instruction, technology, administrative and support services, into a natural experience for learner and teacher.
10
Enter the MOOCs – Massive Open Online Courses
.The term MOOC is used for the first time in 2008 at the U. of Manitoba.
.Sebastian Thrun offers a MOOC in 2011 at Stanford University and 160,000 students enroll.
.MOOC consortia/companies (Udacity, edX, Coursera) are formed.
.Millions of students are now enrolling every year in MOOCs.

MOOCs - Pros and Cons!
Pros
Worldwide student access to courses and materials Scalability will drive down higher education costs
Convenience for adults/ career development Interesting uses of data and learning analytics
Cons
Taking a course is not equivalent to an education
Some MOOCs are poorly designed and lack substantive interaction
High attrition rates (as much as 90%) Financial sustainability (most MOOCs are free).

The Future of Technology
- Easy to Get it Wrong!
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." – Ken Olson, Chairman Digital Equipment Corp., 1977
"640K ought to be enough memory for anybody." – Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft, 1981

The Future - One Size Does Not Fit All!
.Different strokes for different folks.
.Different types of schools will approach Online and Blended Learning and MOOCs differently.
.Different programs/disciplines/courses will approach Online and Blended Learning and MOOCs differently.
.Different students will approach Online and Blended Learning and MOOCs differently.

The Future – Allen & Seaman Survey of Chief Academic Officers (N=2,820)
Source: Allen, I.E. & Seaman, J. (2013).
2012 survey finds only 2.6 percent report they currently offer MOOCs and slightly less than ten percent (9.4%) have plans to offer them.
17
The Future – MOOCs -> Blended Cs
.San Jose State University entered into an agreement with Udacity to develop remedial and introductory courses (2013-2016).
.Courses were limited to 300 students.
.Tuition was $150. per course.
.Provision for faculty involvement in a blended format.
.Efforts will be made to overcome the biggest failure of MOOCs — their 90 percent dropout rate.

The Future!
.Put part of the course (i.e., lecture) in online/MOOC environment
.Put discussion/interaction part of the course in a f2f or blended environment.

The Future
Source: Allen, I.E. & Seaman, J. (2013).
When examined by Carnegie classification, it is the research universities (Doctoral/Research institutions) that are in the lead. They are almost twice as likely to beoffering MOOCs or planning to offer MOOCs (9.8% vs. the next highest of 4.5%for Specialized institutions in offerings and 21.4% vs. the next highest of 11.8% forMaster’s level institutions for planning).
24
The Future
Source: Allen, I.E. & Seaman, J. (2013).
Overall, academic leaders are split in their opinions about MOOCs as a sustainablemethod for offering courses with 27.8 percent agreeing, 27.0 percent disagreeing,and most Chief Academic Officers (45.2%) neutral.
