After a longer period of evaluation, I came to TSiBA with the clear goal to implement blended learning into different courses. In coordination with Pearl Pugin who set the deadline for self-directed learning in two courses (NUM 101 and 102) at the start of the school year 2019, the B360 e-learning team is appointed to support TSiBA in this matter.
With different lecturers the learning pathes were revised and the curriculum of the courses was adapted. Then these projects were presented to the academic staff, the volunteer lecturers, the CEO and the IT-staff. The commitment of B360 to support the process was highly welcomed.
Providing resources: After planning, developing, implementing, piloting and evaluating a blended learning course. Teachers should be empowered to multiply the approach and adapt it to other topics. Consequently our role will be limited more and more to assist them in the process. To improve their autonomy schools with experience with pilot projects should in a next phase develop their expertise in this field.
During the last few weeks, I designed a web-site “Blended Course Design” with instructions how to convert a conventional course into a blended learning format.
