The University of Alberta, through the Provost’s Digital Learning Committee (PDLC), has created the University of Alberta Blended Learning Award, which provides faculty members from across the university the ability to receive support from the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) for the redevelopment of current undergraduate courses into a blended learning format. Interest in examining how the utilization of technology and the classroom could improve the overall teaching and learning experience is central to this initiative.
This presentation will focus on the overall vision of this award and the process that was undertaken to determine the multiple redevelopment projects that were selected and will examine the current status and next steps of this initiative.
Learning Outcomes:
• Examine the context of blended learning in a university environment
• Discuss the various projects that fit within the blended learning award
• Review the current status and next steps of the initiative
Audience: Anyone looking at implementing a blended learning initiative to those who are currently evaluating or engaged in the development of a blended learning course and/or program.
