Overview: Blend LT

Welcome to the Blend LT Learning Path

This Learning Path is meant for:

• Faculty looking for just-in-time resources for blended learning
• Faculty participating in the train-the-trainers BlendLT workshop series
• Faculty learning communities (FLCs) working together to revise their courses to a blended format

This series of modules includes an introduction to blended learning, a guide to course revision, best practices and examples of successful blended courses, and ways to assess the effectiveness of your revised course. The main text for this Learning Path is The Blended Course Design Workbook: A Practical Guide by Kathryn E. Linder. For Penn State faculty, it is available as an ebook from the PSU library and can be borrowed for 365 days. You can download the ebook to your computer or device from ProQuest.

Additional readings and resources will be provided via links throughout the Learning Path.

Each module of the Learning Path contains two or three "Essential Readings," along with various videos and activities that will guide you through your blended course revisions. Additionally, some readings are labeled "Optional Reading" for those who want to delve deeper into a topic. Similarly, some links are labeled "Optional Exploration;" these links contain resources and information that may be relevant in your teaching context. Browse through these optional resources to determine whether they will enhance your blended course design. 

Note: Some resources require a Penn State account to access.

Note: Many activity files on this Learning Path open to a “make a copy” google docs page. Making a copy of these files will save the template file to whichever Google Drive account you are currently logged into (or will ask you to sign in to a Google account in order to make the copy). You may edit these files as they are your personal copies.

If you are facilitating an FLC, you can find the Canvas course companion to this Learning Path in the Canvas Commons. [Coming Soon!]
