This summer the Learning Technology Center<\/a> is hosting a Flexible Blended Faculty Development Workshop Series<\/em>. Definitions of blended learning vary but generally represent a structure that mixes online components into face-to-face teaching and learning, without being fully online (EDUCAUSE, 2020). This series builds from the context of providing online and face-to-face options to students (rather than the more traditional replacing some face-to-face class sessions with online class sessions) and planning toward moving components online later in the fall, following Thanksgiving break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series is divided into three categories, Planning for Flexibility<\/em>, Blending Face-to-Face and Online Assessment<\/em>, and The Blended Class<\/em>. These sessions do not focus on specific learning technologies (other Learning Technology Center workshops do) but instead focus on technology-mediated activity design and development to help you plan for the next academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UW-Whitewater faculty and instructors, with Learning Technology Center staff will facilitate these sessions. This summer workshop series also has a connected LTC Summer Blended Faculty Development Series Canvas course, with a variety of resources, which you will receive access to after you register for a session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning for Flexibility Sessions<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Planning for Flexibility<\/em> sessions aim to assist instructors with thinking through how they might modify their fall 2020 courses in a way that incorporates blended learning principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of Blended Design and Scheduling<\/a> (Wednesday June 24th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Technology for Learning in the Physical and Online Classroom<\/a> (Tuesday June 30th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing Student Small Group Activities<\/a> (Tuesday July 7th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blending Face-to-Face and Online Assessment Sessions<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blending Face-to-Face and Online Assessment<\/em> sessions seek to assist instructors with creating online activities applicable across course delivery formats. The selected topics reflect findings from the ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2019 <\/em>(Gierdowski, 2019), where students rated assignments, exams\/quizzes, and peer reviews as top online activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assignment Options<\/a> (Wednesday July 8th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exams & Quizzes<\/a> (Tuesday July 21st, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peer Review of Student Work<\/a> (Friday July 24th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blended Class Sessions<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blended Class<\/em> sessions explore possible methods to transition face-to-face components that might be most challenging to you, and your students, in moving online. These topics arise from areas that students rated most highly for face-to-face delivery in the ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2019<\/em> (Gierdowski, 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Options for Instructor Presentation of Content<\/a> (Tuesday August 4th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Presentations<\/a> (Wednesday August 5th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student-Student Interaction<\/a> (Friday, August 7th, 9:00 am)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
