Time and space are at a premium on college campuses these days.

Blended learning courses allow institutions, and students, to make better use of both.

By combining the best of face-to-face instruction with online learning technology, blended approaches can reduce time on campus while contributing to better learning outcomes.

One way “hybrid” courses do this is by increasing student engagement through creative uses of technology–before, during and after class.

Organizing Blended Courses for Optimal Student Engagement, featuring Dr. Ike Shibley of Penn State, will inspire professors to think more creatively about how to use blended course delivery to involve students more actively with course material.

In this session, Dr. Shibley will present the specific strategies he recommends using with students before class meetings, during class time and after class is over.

This seminar will cover:
• Preparing class guides that help students learn prior to class
• Using student response systems to create a more active classroom
• Writing quiz questions to increase rehearsal and involvement with course material
• Ways to reach higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy with clicker questions
• Teaching challenges for before, during, and after class
• How blended learning makes assessment easier

You'll also create your own class guides for blended learning, and write potential clicker and quiz questions.
