Blended Learning Tips and Tricks. Blended learning refers to the use of eLearning in combination with face-to-face teaching. Here are three simple ways to use eLearning in your teaching for a blended learning approach.
| 1. |
Use discussion postings from your subject website to facilitate discussion in class. |
| |
Create a discussion area in WebCT for one of your topics and post a provocative or challenging question or point of view for the students to respond to. Tell students that you will be discussing this topic in the next class and encourage them to go to the discussion area and post their comments. In this way students have the opportunity to think about the issues before class and you can use their comments as part of the discussion in class. |
| 2. |
Provide online multiple choice or short answer questions to assess students' learning. |
| |
Use the online assessment tool in WebCT to post multiple choice or short answer questions for your students to complete. By providing students with opportunities to test their knowledge of particular topics or concepts you are providing them with feedback on their progress which they can use to focus their study efforts. |
| 3. |
Build up a database of online resources for a topic using resources students have found and critically evaluated. |
| |
Give your students an activity where they need to find online resources relevant to a particular topic. These might include websites, multimedia presentations, videos or blogs. Have your students collate the resources they find - you can get them to do this in class or online - and to discuss and critically evaluate each of the resources. Each time you do this activity with your students you can update your database of resources with new ones that your students discover! |
