Join us online for Good Practices in Blended Learning: A Five Stage Model to learn how to integrate online synchronous and asynchronous activities into a structured programme. For online learning to be successful and enjoyable, students need to be supported through a developmental process, and the Five Stage model (Salmon, 2000) offers essential support and development to students at each stage as they build up expertise in learning online. Participants in this session will be able to: 1. Use technology as a lever to apply Chickering and Gamson's (1987) Seven Principles in blended learning and teaching 2. Apply the Five Stage model to blended course design 3. Identify appropriate activities for synchronous and asynchronous learning and teaching Event Date: 11/12/2020 Facilitator(s): David Watson (EDC), Dave Gatrell (EDC)

Join us online for Good Practices in Blended Learning: A Community of Inquiry (CoI) Approach to further explore how to integrate online synchronous and asynchronous activities into a structured programme. The CoI framework (Garrison et al. 2000) represents a process of creating a deep and meaningful learning online experience through the development of three interdependent elements: social, cognitive and teaching presence. In this session, you’ll apply the framework to your blended teaching. Participants in this session will be able to: 1. Explain the importance of social, cognitive and teaching presence in designing and facilitating effective blended learning 2. Use the CoI framework to select appropriate tools for effective blended learning 3. Use the CoI framework to design and deliver engaging activities for different stages of a blended online lecture or tutorial Event Date: 18/12/2020 Facilitator(s): Dave Gatrell (EDC), David Watson (EDC)
