T.M.Smith@soton.ac.uk The Education Innovation team in the University of Southampton's Professional Services comprises professional Multimedia Developers and Specialists in Learning Design. We work with academic teams to deliver high quality blended learning.
In this session we offer 5 top tips for academic staff that will enable them to start blending or further enhance their courses.
We will showcase examples of how this has been achieved in a range of academic units, and will be happy to answer questions and offer suggestions for people's current practices.
Our holistic approach to blended learning enables staff to make connections with their learners, connect learners to course content, and then connect learning to the rest of their lives.
