Experiential Learning in a Faculty-Blended Course Development Workshop

At Western Washington University, supporters of faculty development combined efforts to design and deliver workshops on blended/online learning. Using an experiential learning approach, the workshop asked faculty to prepare a course map, rewrite their syllabus, locate open educational resources, prepare an assignment, build a survey or quiz, and deliver a web conference, all in the context of redesigning courses for blended or online delivery. As representatives of the teaching and learning center and extended education, we will engage participants in an experiential learning dialogue to evaluate ideas and models for delivering blended/online learning professional development.

OUTCOMES:
Gather multiple options for addressing the development of blended/online learning faculty programs and workshops * Discover how to analyze and select the programs best suited to your campus * Identify like-minded professionals with whom you can extend the conversation after you return to your campus desk
