About the Guide
Conceptualizing what blended learning (hybrid learning) looks like on your campus is an important step in ensuring quality learning for your students. Identifying a blended model for your courses and programs that is derived from research-based, effective practices with documented improvement of student outcomes is critical. Since many of you have had to quickly launch technology-driven blended options, it is time to strategically plan for a blended model for your campus, programs, and courses. Planning for a Blended Future: A Research-Driven Guide for Educators identifies factors and techniques to be considered for responsive planning and redesigning of courses and programs for post-inoculation education in institutions of higher education. This guide moves beyond getting started with blended learning to help educators realize the best of online and onsite instruction and implement research-driven techniques to positively influence student outcomes.
