MCC will host the Instructional Technology Council's professional development audioconference entitled, "Mixing it up: The New Blended Canvas for Learning," on Tuesday, July 10 from 2:00-3:00 pm in room 3-115. The presenter is: Erin Ebert, e-Learning Analyst, Savannah College of Art and Design.
In Fall 2006, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) launched a blended learning pilot program – three art courses that merged on-campus courses with successful e-Learning courses. The format combined a fully online course that students followed for content, project assignments and testing with once weekly in-class meetings. Class sessions focused on studio technique, critique sessions, and active topic discussion. Students reviewed course content and completed assignments and assessments on their own time.
Erin Ebert will review the pilot’s implementation process, which involved researching hybrid/blended learning programs, training faculty to use a new approach, creating a special online student orientation, adapting the fully online courses to the blended format, meeting weekly with e-Learning services staff, providing continued instructional and technical support throughout the quarter, and implementing post-pilot evaluation and assessment from faculty and students.
This presentation was rated as one of the most useful sessions at eLearning 2007.
