Are you thinking of blending your course?
Join Us in Teaching in a Blended Learning Environment (T-BLE)
“Teaching in a Blended Learning Environment (T-BLE) is a short blended course designed in support of UBC’s strategic goals related to educational transformation and flexible learning. Aimed at instructors, T-BLE will give you a great start in navigating the blended learning environment, working within a cohort of your peers. As part of your T-BLE activities, you will redesign a module of your own course in a blended format by incorporating more active learning and evidence-based strategies.”
Dr. Simon Bates, Senior Advisor, Teaching and Learning and Academic Director, Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT).
T-BLE is a short, immersive blended course aimed at instructors who are already teaching in the classroom and are considering moving to a blended environment. The pilot offering of this short course will run for 6 weeks this fall (Sept 24 – Nov 12) and will be delivered in a blended format – a combination of online and face-to-face sessions.
