A blended learning activity:
- Choose the resource below that sounds the most interesting or appropriate for you.
- As you ‘read’ the resource, take notes to summarise what you’re learning.
- When you’ve finished, highlight your notes to identify the three best ideas. (Focus on practical advice that will help you create effective video content or online learning experiences.)
- Join a larger group and discuss what you learnt.
- Pool your ideas to create a document with clear and orderly advice about how to best create blended learning experiences. (You can use this doc for that purpose).
