The 麻豆原创 is developing a national model for blended learning, a practice that combines web-based learning with traditional classroom instruction.<\/p>\n

The Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC) awarded 麻豆原创 a $250,000 grant, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation<\/em> and others. NGLC is coordinated by EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit group that promotes the use of information technology to advance higher education.<\/p>\n

For the grant, 麻豆原创 will develop a \u201cBlended Learning Toolkit\u201d that will include: strategies for blended course design and delivery; models for blended Composition and Algebra courses; assessment and data collection protocols; and \u201ctrain-the-trainer\u201d materials.<\/p>\n

The toolkit and course models will be provided to the American Association of State Colleges (AASCU), the partner in the grant. The association will then engage 20 member institutions, which will use the kit\u2019s course templates and models, or build their own courses using the strategies and resources provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project will bring national and international recognition to our leadership in the field of blended learning, and will bring exposure to our faculty and the groundbreaking work they are doing reinventing instructional approaches for math and composition curricula,\u201d said Tom Cavanagh, assistant vice president for 麻豆原创\u2019s Center for Distributed Learning.<\/p>\n

The benefits of blended learning are many. For universities, blended courses encourage collaboration and compensate for limited classroom space. For faculty, they can be a method to infuse new opportunities for engagement into established courses. For students, the courses offer convenience combined with instructional interaction.<\/p>\n

麻豆原创\u2019s blended courses consistently rank higher than other modes in student course evaluations and have the highest levels of student success and the lowest withdrawals of any modality — including purely face-to-face.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project will allow other institutions to benefit from 麻豆原创\u2019s highly successful online learning and assessment models,\u201d said Joel Hartman, vice provost for Information Technologies and Resources. \u201cThere is great potential for future adoption beyond the project itself, and what we create and learn will ultimately benefit 麻豆原创 and our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the long-term, the program could be distributed to the more than 420 AASCU member colleges and universities.<\/p>\n

In addition to developing a blended learning infrastructure at AASCU institutions, the project aims to increase access to education and improve student success and retention. The NGLC program specifically targets improving college readiness and completion among low-income students.<\/p>\n

At 麻豆原创, blended learning is managed by the Center for Distributed Learning, which provides leadership in distance learning policies, strategies and practices. The department collaborates with colleges to develop 麻豆原创\u2019s online programs and works with faculty and students to ensure successful course experiences.<\/p>\n

In the fall 2010 semester, 26,000 麻豆原创 students enrolled in at least one online, blended or video course. 麻豆原创 currently offers more than 2,500 online, video and blended classes.<\/p>\n
