Strategies and Spaces, Blended Learning at UNCG, Wednesday, February 9th, 12-12:30 pm

Presented by Amy Brown (Teaching Innovations Office) and Evan Kelly (ITS: Learning Technology)

Blended learning takes multiple forms at UNCG- from online synchronous meetings to hybrid models that use both online and in-person instructional time. These blended options require planning and strategies to make them successful. Recently, ITS has created several new spaces on campus to help faculty embrace the demand for blended learning options and engage students at home and in the classroom. This workshop will share some strategies UNCG faculty are using as they prepare for blended learning and introduce the new spaces available on campus.
