To support faculty interested in taking this opportunity to redesign their course to deliver in a blended modality, TLT offers the BlendLT faculty engagement program. This program is a full engagement that will support faculty members’ efforts to redesign their course to blended format. The BlendLT program consists of three important elements of support for this engagement:
- Faculty Development: TLT provides a formalized development program for faculty on how to design and deliver blended courses.
- TLT Resource Support for Redesign: TLT will provide resources such as instructional designers and media developers to support each faculty member’s redesign and development project.
- TLT Resources for Assessment: TLT will provide resources to assist in the assessment of the redesigned blended course to ensure solid measurement of learning outcomes.
The BlendLT program is a cohort-based engagement in which selected faculty will be given the opportunity to collaborate with peers throughout the engagement process including during the formal professional development work as well as during the development and assessment phases.
