“Depending on one’s starting point, a blended course may be viewed as either a face-to-face course with online enhancement or an online course with face-to-face enhancement.”

To develop a successful blended classroom start by looking at how to meet the learning goals.

Wegmann points out that online certain tasks can be more effective in allowing multiple student to gain access to information. I could relate this to my colouring clays class in which visibility will be a key issue to overcome when teaching it in person. How can I adapt my online class to allow for all students to see what I am doing?

“In terms of integration, communication is the key, and I think if we can allow our students to communicate in meaningful ways—both online and face to face—that will help bridge the gap”

Students shouldn’t be thinking, why am I doing this task. It should be clear to them for them to be more likely to engage.
