Description

This 50 minute session introduces some of the differences between on campus and off-campus learning and teaching activities and will cover ten top tips for getting started with blended and distance learning programmes. It is aimed at staff who are interested in moving to more blended or even wholly distance short courses or programmes and want an opportunity to explore the differences in practice.

The session is a precursor to more in depth workshops covering issues identified by attendees as warranting further attention and support

47% of programme directors would like to further develop online and distance learning on their programmes, and 71% of programme directors prefer to explore this in a group workshop.

This event will be of interest to:

Module convenors and programme directors interested in developing blended and distant approaches to delivery with a view to enhancing NSS scores for learning resources and learning community.

By successfully engaging with this event, the participant will:

  • have an increased understanding of the pedagogic differences between on-campus and off-campus design of teaching and learning activities.
