My Fall 2020 coursework was all about the "who" and the "what" of blended and online learning. I learned about online teachers and learners, models of blended and online learning, and communication in an online learning space. I experienced being an online learner in an asynchronous online course delivered on Google Sites and over the Blackboard learning management system. I redesigned a traditional lesson for a blended and online environment. Finally, I mentored and was mentored in a symbiotic learning partnership, as I learned about forming and supporting relationships with online learners.
How perfect that my introduction to blended and online learned occurred entirely in the authentic context of being an online learner!
