Mapping the Blended Course

Alisa Cooper

Conference Home

The blended course redesign process includes several steps. In this segment, we’ll begin that process by providing an overview and practicing the first few mapping steps with an existing course or by reworking a course syllabus. We will continue to work through the redesign process throughout the conference, focusing on a chunk or section of the course. Session discussions will include:

• Mapping the course: How to organize the design process for the redesign team and the faculty member
• Starting with what you have: evaluating, redesigning, and using objectives
