Blended and Hybrid Learning Design in Higher Education
Description
Explore blended and hybrid learning with the University of Nottingham
COVID-19 has had a transformative impact on higher education. Blended and hybrid models of learning are now the norm, and not an anomaly.
On this five-week course from the University of Nottingham, youâll explore a range of perspectives on blended and hybrid learning. Youâll examine key paradigm shifts in pedagogical thinking, and consider their implications for your own teaching practice. Youâll learn from leading thinkers like Stephen Downes, Diana Laurillard, Neil Selwyn, and Norman Vaughan.
Discover theoretical and philosophical frameworks for learning design
How you design courses depends on the conditions and resources available to you. Theories of time, space, and technology have much to contribute to debates around education.
Youâll start by reviewing a wide variety of theories and philosophies, discussing their implications for blended and hybrid learning. Youâll cover key concepts like flipped learning, asynchronous teaching, and connectivism in pedagogy.
Get practical tips on how to design effective blended and hybrid learning content
Once youâve mastered the theory, you can begin to apply it in practice. In Weeks 3 and 4 of the course, youâll receive practical guidance to use in your own teaching.
Youâll discover a range of platforms, apps, and tools, and develop strategies for designing accessible and engaging course content.
Understand the legislative and institutional context of blended and hybrid learning
No course can be designed without considering regulatory frameworks within higher education. In the final week of the course, youâll explore the wider institutional and legislative context of blended and hybrid learning.
Youâll finish the course capable of designing courses that meet the demands of the post-COVID-19 era.
This course is aimed at anyone interested or involved in designing blended or hybrid courses. It will be particularly valuable to university managers, academic staff, researchers, learning designers, learning technologists, and students of any subject.
