Reflect on Your Course

Self-reflection Worksheet (Activity)

Take some time to reflect on how you currently understand blended course design in the context of your own course. Complete this reflection in any manner you want: in writing, video or audio response, voice-over-slides presentation, etc.

Consider the following questions:

How does a blended course model match your teaching philosophy?
What preliminary ideas do you have to support your students’ learning in the blended format through communication, creating community both in-class and online, scaffolding, and integration of in-class and online activities?

Share your reflection with at least one of your peers within your BlendLT workshop or FLC.
