Design, Development, and Research: A New Playbook for Transforming Learning

The Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology Blended Learning Transformation program (BlendLT) offers faculty the opportunity to redesign a course into a blended format through faculty development, instructional design consultations, and assessment support to gather evidence and measure success. This replicable three-pronged approach addresses the top 3 key issues in teaching and learning in 2016 as reported by ELI. In the case of BlendLT, the framework empowers faculty to develop and teach innovative and engaging blended courses. The framework can also be used to support other issues and opportunities in teaching and learning.
