Session Descriptions
Session Descriptions and Biographies of Presenters for Online PD January 16, 2007
Title: Inquiry through Blended Learning Description: Participants in this Elluminate Live! session will engage in a dialogue about how a blended learning framework can be used to facilitate student-directed inquiry within higher education courses. The University of Calgary defines blended learning as a blending of campus and online educational experiences for the express purpose of enhancing the quality of the learning experience. Blended learning is seen as an opportunity to fundamentally redesign how we approach teaching and learning in ways that higher education institutions may benefit from increased effectiveness, convenience and efficiency. At the heart of blended learning redesign is the goal to engage students in critical discourse and reflection. The goal is to create dynamic and vital communities of inquiry where students take responsibility to construct meaning and confirm understanding through active participation in the inquiry process.
