Converged Learning

• Participation in class may be:

• Traditional (same time, same place)

• Synchronous (same time, different place)

• Asynchronous (different time, different place)

• Participation can vary week-by-week

• One mode may have advantages at a particular time

• All students held to same standards

Most Importantly All Students…

• Access the same lectures

• Complete the same assignments

• Work collaboratively on group work

• Participate in forums

• Are subject to the same assessment rubrics
