Having successfully completed this course you will gain experience with the entire BL course development cycle: from the initial conception through course design and learning environment organization.

In this course we will explore the model of blended learning and dive into key issues that help teachers to move from traditional face-to-face (f2f) learning to blended learning (BL). We will study the stages of the Backward design for BL courses development, consider strategies to incorporate active learning into online, discuss active learning approaches and appropriate web 2.0 services for promoting active learning.

By the end, our goal is to prepare one of the Unit’s of your own course in a Blended format given what you have learned throughout the training.
