Designing Our Courses
How do you put together a course in a virtual or “blended” setting—where some students might be in class and others might be online? Below are links to several resources—including vide of two fairly comprehensive W&L workshops. In the end, there are plenty of options. The key is to choose models that feel right for your courses, your students, and your style of teaching. Then stick with them.
