Season 9, Episode 9 - May 8, 2024
Unveiling the Power of Blended Learning
Dr. Cecil Short, Associate Professor at Emporia State University,
In this episode, we delve into the transformative world of Blended Learning. We explore the 3Ms framework—modality, media, and methods—emphasizing the pivotal role of methods in shaping effective teaching practices.
Highlighting Blended Learning as the dynamic fusion of in-person and online learning modalities, we investigate the benefits it offers, from enhanced engagement to personalized instruction.
We also discuss essential competencies for educators and tackle obstacles like technological disparities and workload. Reflecting on the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we examine its influence and offer pragmatic advice to navigate these hurdles effectively.
