MOOC on Blended Learning
The University of Central
Florida (UCF) announces the second offering of its popular MOOC (massive open
online course) for blended learning faculty and designers: BlendKit2012.
Based around the open-licensed BlendKit Course instructional materials
contained within the http://BlendedLearningToolkit.org
web site, BlendKit2012 will run as a five-week cohort (from Monday,
September 24 to Monday, October 29, 2012) facilitated by UCF’s Dr. Kelvin
Thompson and Dr. Linda Futch. The goal of BlendKit2012 is to provide assistance
in designing and developing your blended learning course via a consideration of
key issues related to blended learning and practical step-by-step guidance in
helping you produce actual materials for your blended course (i.e., from design
documents through creating content pages to peer review feedback at your own
institution). Unlike many traditional courses, registrants are encouraged to
select the course components they find relevant as they participate at one of
several engagement levels (i.e., completer, participant, auditor). Course
components include regular communications from facilitators, weekly readings,
hands-on tasks, a variety of real time and asynchronous interaction
opportunities, and weekly webinars with experienced blended learning
instructors.
Registration is free
of charge.
