Sometimes institutions call these blended but

often they are not considered to be blended

Because of the supervisory responsibility in K-12 . . . often

the online portions are done in the brick and mortar school.

students at 1,179 colleges and

universities provided a nationally

representative sample of students.

What does research

say about the

effectiveness of BL?

Summary at: Graham, C. R. (2013). Emerging practice and research in

blended learning. In M. G. Moore (Ed.), Handbook of distance education (3rd ed.,

pp. 333–350). New York, NY: Routledge. http://bit.ly/BL-research

Effectiveness Research

Barbara Means meta analysis:

• 45 very different blends

• Improved outcomes for blended

learning

• Couldn’t identify reason for

improvement

Effectiveness Research

Current BL Research Cases (2014)

Global Examples of BL in practice

Includes literature review on BL focusing on learning effectiveness, student

and faculty satisfaction, access, and cost

effectiveness.

Technology itself is not bad or good …

technology = tool

value = how you use it

What makes a

learning experience

engaging?

Think of interaction with . . .

Student

How is the student engaging

inside and outside of class?

. . . peers and instructors . . . Content

Purpose of BL . . .

. . . is NOT to

eliminate the human

interaction

. . . IS to maximize

the potential of the

learner-human and

the learner-content

interaction.

engaging in your

classes?

Differing Ability Levels

Each student's ability to understand and apply the material varies.

The more students in a class, the more difficult it becomes to

scaffold individual student learning.

Authenticity + Access

Because instruction is confined to a specific space and time,

authentic learning activities and assessments can be difficult to

design for the classroom. Simulated environments can provide

access learning experiences that are more authentic than lecture-

based instruction.

Personal Interaction

Even in smaller traditional classes, it can be difficult for the

instructor to set aside time for personal one-on-one interaction

and feedback with students.

Participation – online discussions Time constraints in a physical classroom may make it difficult for

everyone to participate or contribute to a discussion.

Pacing

Student self-pacing – Intro to Accounting (watch)

Especially in larger traditional classes, it is often difficult to match

your instructional pace with your individual students' ability to learn

the material.

Scheduling Collaboration

Effective collaboration can be a catalyst for learning in a course.

Sometimes instructors avoid collaboration because it is difficult to

manage this when schedules conflict.

Active

learning

1. Help learners to be more active

(both face-to-face and online).

2. Be creative – do what works for you

and the students.

We need to figure out how

Future learning systems may not be differentiated as

much based on whether they blend but rather by

how they blend.
