This is a list of the Professional Development options that are available to teachers to learn more about online and blended learning through AEA Learning Online
These courses taught using face to face, blended and online learning opportunities look at specific examples of blended learning and key components of teaching in such a manner. This is not about a specific Learning Management System (LMS) but instead about the pedagogical changes and tools needed to blend your content in a rigorous and relevant way.
