Planning

When planning to implement the block teaching mode of course design a useful starting point is to have an overview of the UoP blended and connected approach. The UoP Scaffolding for blended and connected learning infographic (below) illustrates where emphasis can be added within the asynchronous and synchronous taught sessions. Having a digital by-design approach is important because it allows students to investigate the content in a variety of creative ways. To understand where learning can take place, the infographic helps to outline the nature of digital as an integral part of the classroom. This approach may be overwhelming and feel unfamiliar but there are many aspects of your practice that you can easily incorporate within this model.
