Courtney just forwarded the following to me regarding a free (!) Educause online session on online/blended (hybrid) learning. Looking over the list of topics, I think you'll see that many are relevant to our work as Continuing Ed hybrid instructors.
Greetings!
On Monday, September 8, 2014 at 1 pm EDT, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative will be hosting an online community discussion on blended/online learning topics selected by the teaching and learning community. The topics we’ll be discussing include:
- Faculty development in online and blended learning,
- Student engagement,
- Innovative course design strategies and models (e.g., hyflex, flipped, competency based education, MOOC),
- Evaluation of impact of technological innovations on student learning, and
- Assessment techniques.
Join us for this interactive, participatory discussion (not a presentation-style event) to learn from colleagues, share effective practice, and network along these important topics. Access to this live event is free and open to all, just go to http://educause.acms.com/eliweb and log in as a guest. If you have any questions, please contact Veronica Diaz at vdiaz@educause.edu.
