New Ideas for Selling Blended Learning to Your Faculty

Learning Management System Changes

If blended learning is the wave of the future … why are so many faculty reluctant to ride it?

Some are reluctant to embrace new tools, software and technology.

Others fear they’ll be buried under a mountain of administrative responsibilities.

But blended learning presents exceptional opportunities – for institutions, students and faculty alike and is something to be embraced, not dreaded.

If you’re having trouble convincing faculty of that, perhaps you simply need to “sell” blended learning more effectively.

Our presenter is Muriel Oaks, Ph.D., Dean of the Center for Distance and Professional Education at Washington State University and a veteran of almost 30 years in the field of distance education.

In this lively, content-rich, 75-minute video presentation, Oaks explains how you can:

  • Develop your “sales pitch” for academic colleagues.
  • Effectively communicate the benefits of nontraditional delivery methods.
  • Explain the difference between blended and hybrid learning.
  • Highlight the value of blended courses as new revenue sources.
  • Develop best practices for hybrid and blended courses.
  • Demonstrate how to build both synchronous and asynchronous elements into courses.
  • Help faculty determine whether a course fits comfortably into an “all-classroom,” “all-online” or blended delivery mode.
