How to Develop Effective Content within a Blended Learning Environment

The key to developing effective resources lies in developing resources that develop holistic students enabling them to meet their outcomes and objectives. Within a blended environment, the designer has the opportunity to develop constructive resources and methods of assessment that not only support and aid learners in achieving a certain skill-set but in essence implement the skill-set within the learning. This will enable the development a single learning experience.

This can be challenging within a blended learning environment, primarily because students sometimes treat the course as two courses as oppose to one course. The challenge here is to develop a well-integrated online learning course with the face to face element. A good way to do this is to integrate an assignment into both modalities.

With a lot of face to face tools having very effective online alternatives, instructors should use these as a middle ground integrate existing tools within them.
