Blended Learning Patterns for Course Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design patterns provide an overall structure for describing best practices. Design patterns originated in the field of architecture and urban design and gained popularity in programming and human-computer interaction. Instructors have recognized the value of design patterns for common course design and instructional issues. Pedagogical patterns specify a problem, provide the context, suggest resolution strategies, describe assessment activities, and identify related patterns. In this paper we apply pedagogical patterns to blended learning course design. We present an overview of pedagogical patterns, describe the collaborative effort involved in creating and assessing patterns, provide an example of pedagogical patterns for blended learning course design, and discuss how pedagogical patterns can advance our understanding of what works in the blended learning context.

متن کاملBlended Course Design: Where's the Pedagogy?
Blended or hybrid course design is generally considered to involve a combination of online and classroom activities. However defining blended courses solely based on delivery mode suggests there is nothing more to a blended course than where students meet and how they use technology. Ultimately there is a risk that blended courses defined in this way will not utilize effective strategies that h...
